Mainland Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Quezon, and Camarines Norte will have the same weather conditions due to the shear line and easterlies.

Batanes and the Babuyan Islands will experience cloudy skies with rains because of the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan).

Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms are forecast for Metro Manila and the rest of the country due to easterlies and localized thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, Northern Luzon will have moderate to strong winds with moderate to rough coastal waters, while Visayas and the rest of Luzon will experience moderate winds with moderate coastal waters.
