As of Sunday, weather specialist Meno Mendoza said the northeasterlies or weak cold breeze coming from the northeast prevailed across the country.

Batanes and Babuyan group of islands will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.

Meanwhile, Metro Manila and the rest of the country may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

PAGASA warned against possible flash floods over low-lying areas or landslides in mountainous communities during severe thunderstorms.

A gale warning remains in effect on Sunday due to moderate to rough seas triggered by the northeasterly surface wind flow.

Fishing boats and small sea crafts were advised not to set sail into the eastern seaboards of Visayas and Mindanao, while larger sea vessels were alerted against very rough sea conditions.

Mendoza said PAGASA does not expect the formation of a low pressure area or tropical cyclone that may affect the country within the next two to three days.
