Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms brought by the easterlies or localized thunderstorms are expected to reign over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
Light to moderate winds headed east to the northeast will blow over Northern Luzon, with slight to moderate coastal waters.
