Metro Manila and the rest of the country are expected to have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms. The Southwest Monsoon continues to affect the weather, posing a risk of flooding and landslides, especially during severe thunderstorms.

Is there any severe weather being monitored in the country aside from the typhoon outside the Area of Responsibility?

No, there are currently no severe weather conditions being monitored within the country, aside from the typhoon located outside the Area of Responsibility.

What is the situation with the cloud cluster forming east of Visayas?

A cloud cluster has formed east of Visayas, and weather models suggest there is a high chance it will develop into a typhoon within the next three days. As it approaches Eastern Luzon, it is expected to strengthen and potentially pull the Southwest Monsoon, leading to widespread rains in the western parts of the country.

What are the potential risks associated with the cloud cluster if it turns into a typhoon?

If the cloud cluster develops into a typhoon, it may make landfall in parts of Northern Luzon. This could result in widespread rains and possibly severe weather conditions, including the risk of flooding and landslides.

What is the current risk of gale warnings in the country?

There are currently no gale warnings raised for any coastal areas within the country.

How many typhoons have occurred in the same period this year, and what is the significance of the developing storm?

The developing storm, if it becomes a typhoon, would be the third typhoon in the same period this year. It is significant because it could lead to widespread rainfall and affect various parts of the country, particularly the western areas.

Why is it important to monitor the cloud cluster's behavior in the coming days?

It is important to monitor the cloud cluster's behavior because it has the potential to develop into a typhoon, which could bring severe weather, widespread rains, and the risk of flooding and landslides. Changes in its development could affect the safety and preparedness of affected areas.
