Occasional gusty conditions, on the other hand, may occur over areas under Signal No. 1.
Occasional gusty conditions may also occur in Visayas and other areas of Luzon due to the southwest monsoon, the weather bureau said.
Sea travel remains risky over the seaboards of areas under a storm signal due to potentially rough sea conditions.
