Cloudy skies with light to moderate rains and thunderstorms should be expected over Metro Manila and the Ilocos, Cordillera, Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Bicol, Eastern and Central Visayas, Caraga and Zamboanga peninsula regions, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.
