In Northern Luzon, the weather bureau said light to moderate rains are being experienced over Babuyan Islands, Calayan, Camiguin, Dalupiri, Fuga, Cagayan, Northern Isabela, Kalinga (Pinukpuk, Rizal and Tabuk City), and Mountain Province (Paracelis) which may persist for two to three hours.

“All are advised to take precautionary measures against the impacts associated with these hazards,” PAGASA said.

Moderate to strong winds will prevail over Palawan and Occidental Mindoro, which will have moderate to rough seas.
