According to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms in particular are expected in Palawan, Western Visayas, and Central Visayas.
PAGASA senior weather specialist Meno Mendoza said the conditions were due to the Intertropical Convergence Zone.
