Expect warm weather across extreme Northern Luzon due to a ridge of a high pressure area, or fewer clouds, it also said.
Temperatures in Olongapo (Angeles City) could go between 24 and 36 degrees Celsius; 22 and 35 degrees Celsius in Tuguegarao and 23 and 34 degrees Celsius in Metro Manila, it added.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the east to southeast will prevail over extreme Northern Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough. Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the east to northeast with slight to moderate seas, Pagasa said.
