As the day begins, we find ourselves under the influence of easterlies, bringing a mix of partly cloudy to cloudy skies across Metro Manila and the entire Philippines. Isolated rain showers or thunderstorms may occur throughout the day, potentially leading to localized flash floods or landslides in severe thunderstorm conditions.
