The habagat may also bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro.
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to localized thunderstorms.
