Metro Manila and the rest of Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains also due to the northeast monsoon.

In the Visayas and Mindanao, the forecast wind speed is light to moderate and moving in the northeast direction while coastal waters will remain light to moderate. — BAP, GMA News
