Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon: Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains are forecasted due to the Northeast Monsoon, with no significant impacts.
The rest of Visayas: Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are expected, influenced by the trough of LPA and localized thunderstorms. There’s a risk of flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.
