In its weather outlook for June 26 to July 3, PAGASA said the southwest monsoon, or “habagat,” and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) will be the dominant weather systems in the country through the weekend.
From June 27 to 28, habagat will bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, and Southern Luzon.
Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are also expected over Surigao del Sur and Davao Oriental due to the ITCZ.
The rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

From June 30 to July 1, PAGASA said the combined effects of the weather disturbance and habagat may bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms over most of Luzon and Visayas.
Mindanao will generally have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with possible afternoon or evening rain showers or thunderstorms.
