Bicol Region and the province of Quezon may be cloudy with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms, while Cagayan Valley, Ilocos ,Cordillera and Central Luzon will experience light rains. Meanwhile, the rest of the country including Metro Manila, begins this month with a generally fair weather.

Gale warning is still in effect in the northern seaboards of Northern Luzon, and the eastern seaboards of Central and Southern Luzon. Sea travel is risky for fishing boats and other small seacraft due to rthe ough to very rough sea conditions.
