A low pressure area (LPA) embedded in the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is bringing rains to Palawan, Catanduanes, and Samar Provinces.

The LPA was estimated at 675 kilometers east of Borongan City, eastern Samar.

Cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms are expected in these areas, with possible flash floods or landslides during moderate to at times heavy rains.

Cagayan and Apayao will also experience cloudy skies with rains due to the northeast monsoon, also with possible flash floods or landslides.

Mindanao, the rest of Visayas, and the rest of Bicol Region will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers due to the ITCZ and localized thunderstorms.

Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the northeast monsoon with no significant impact.

The wind speed forecast for northern Luzon is moderate to strong moving northeastward while coastal waters will be moderate to rough.
