Meanwhile, Central Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, northern Mindanao, Tawi-tawi, Basilan, and Sulu will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorm due to the southwest monsoon until Thursday afternoon.

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