Likewise, the Northeast Monsoon is expected to bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over Metro Manila and the rest of the country.

Localized thunderstorms are expected to bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over the rest of Mindanao, Samar, Leyte, and Southern Leyte.
