Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and Ilocos Region may experience partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated light rains due to Northeast Monsoon.
Meanwhile, PAGASA said that on Nov. 1 to 3 , Quezon, Bicol Region, and Eastern Visayas may expect cloudy with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms.
It also said that there will be possible floods and landslides in low lying and mountainous areas due to the expected prolonged rains.

“The rest of the country will have isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening,” PAGASA said.
