The entire archipelago will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms becoming cloudy with widespread rains over Palawan, eastern section of Southern Luzon, Eastern Visayas and Northeastern Mindanao which may trigger flashfloods and landslides, it said.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Luzon and Visayas and the coastal waters along these areas will be

moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the northeast to north with slight to moderate seas, the state weather bureau said.
