Due to the southwest monsoon, the weather bureau said Ilocos and Cordillera regions, Zambales, Bataan, and Babuyan Group of Islands will have cloudy skies with scattered rain and thunderstorms.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy skies with isolated rain showers due to localized thunderstorms.
