MANILA – Cloudy skies with scattered rain showers will prevail over a large part of Luzon due to the northeast monsoon affecting Northern Luzon and the shear line affecting Central Luzon, the weather bureau said Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Ilocos Region and the rest of the Cordillera region and Cagayan Valley will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains.

On the other hand, Metro Manila, Central Luzon, and Calabarzon will experience cloudy skies with scattered rain showers and thunderstorms due to the shear line.
