The northeast monsoon (amihan) will be affecting Northern and Central Luzon while the effects of the easterlies will be felt in the rest of the country, PAGASA reported.

Mindanao, Northern Samar, Eastern Samar, and Southern Leyte will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to the easterlies with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur due to moderate to at times heavy rains.

Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, and Central Luzon will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the northeast monsoon but this will have no significant impact.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies with the possibility that flash floods or landslides will occur during severe thunderstorms.

The wind speed forecast for the eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao is moderate to strong moving northeastward while coastal waters will be moderate to rough.

The rest of the country will experience light to moderate wind speed moving in the east to northeast direction with slight to moderate coastal waters.
