MANILA — The influence of a northeasterly wind flow in Northern Luzon will result in partly cloudy skies with occasional isolated rain showers across most regions of the country, according to the latest report from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Wednesday.
In the 4 a.m. weather bulletin, PAGASA indicated that this weather pattern will bring about overcast skies accompanied by rain in areas such as Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, and Aurora.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and other regions can expect partly cloudy to cloudy conditions with sporadic rain showers or thunderstorms, primarily due to the northeasterly wind flow or localized thunderstorm activity.
Northern and Central Luzon are forecasted to experience moderate to strong winds, resulting in moderate to rough coastal waters.
In contrast, the remainder of the country is expected to encounter light to moderate winds and seas with slight to moderate conditions.
The temperature in Metro Manila will range from 25°C to 32°C; Baguio City, 16°C to 24°C; Laoag City, 25°C to 32°C; Legazpi City, 25°C to 33°C; Metro Cebu, 26°C to 32°C; Puerto Princesa City, 25°C to 32°C; and Metro Davao, 24°C to 32°C.

PAGASA is currently monitoring three weather systems beyond the boundaries of the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). In its 4 a.m. weather update on Sunday, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported the following:
- Typhoon Koinu, previously known as Jenny, is nearly stationary and positioned 725 km west of the extreme Northern Luzon. It boasts maximum sustained winds of 155 kph and gusts of up to 190 kph.
- Tropical Storm Bolaven (international name) is situated 3,045 km east of the Visayas, moving slowly westward with maximum sustained winds of 65 kph and gusts of 80 kph.
- An area of low pressure (LPA) was detected 1,845 km east of the Visayas as of 3 a.m. Sunday.
PAGASA clarified that these three weather systems currently do not have any direct impact on any part of the Philippines. The weather outlook for Metro Manila and the rest of the country includes partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, attributed to the southwest monsoon or “habagat” and localized thunderstorms.
Northern and Central Luzon, along with the western section of Southern Luzon, can expect light to moderate winds blowing from the southwest to southeast, with slight to moderate coastal waters. Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience light to moderate winds heading northeast to northwest, also with slight to moderate sea conditions.
Temperature-wise, the range is expected to be between 24.6°C and 32.7°C.
