Based on its 4 p.m. weather forecast, these areas are the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas, Caraga, Quezon, Metro Manila, MIMAROPA, and the rest of CALABARZON, the rest of Visayas, and the rest of Mindanao.

Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.

PAGASA warned that these weather conditions may trigger landslides and flash floods.
