It said the provinces of Quezon and Camarines Norte will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms on Wednesday.

Metro Manila, the rest of Central Luzon, Cagayan Valley, Cordillera and Ilocos region will be partly cloudy to at times cloudy with isolated light rains, it said.

It said the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Luzon and the eastern section of Visayas where the coastal waters will be moderate to rough.

Light to moderate winds will blow from the northeast to north over the rest of the country, where the seas will be slight to moderate.
