Caraga and Northern Mindanao will experience cloudy skies with light rains and isolated thunderstorms.

The rest of the country including Metro Manila will be partly cloudy to at times cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

The temeperature in Metro Manila will range 23-32 degrees Celsius on Wednesday.

The state-run weather bureau also issued gale warning as the sea condition will be moderate to rough and is expected to affect the seaboard of Northern Luzon.

”Fishing boats and other small seacrafts are advised not to venture out into the sea while larger sea vessels are alerted against big waves,” it warned.

PAGASA also said moderate to strong winds blowing from the northeast will prevail over Luzon and its coastal waters will be moderate to rough.

Elsewhere, winds will be light to moderate coming from the northeast with slight to moderate seas. (PNA) LGI/CLTC
