Moderate to heavy rains in those areas could result in flash floods or landslides, PAGASA said.
Meanwhile, cloudy skies with light rains will be felt over Cagayan Valley, Aurora, and the rest of Quezon due to the northeast monsoon or ‘amihan.’

The rest of the country will experienc
e partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
Flash floods or landslides may occur in vulnerable areas during severe thunderstorms, PAGASA said.
Moderate to strong winds and moderate to rough coastal waters will prevail over the eastern sections of the country, while the rest of the archipelago will have light to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas.
