Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, and Albay are expected to experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides from moderate to heavy rainfall.

Mainland Cagayan, Apayao, Kalinga, Isabela, and Aurora will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms due to the shear line, posing a risk for flash floods or landslides from moderate to heavy rainfall.

Batanes and Babuyan Islands will experience cloudy skies with rain caused by the northeast monsoon, potentially leading to flash floods or landslides from moderate to heavy rainfall.

Metro Manila and other parts of the country will see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies, posing a risk for flash floods or landslides during severe storms.

Residents in affected areas are advised to remain vigilant and exercise caution to prevent potential hazards from heavy rains.
