In the next 0-3 hours, thunderstorms will continue to develop, causing showers, accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning in the above districts, then expanding to other neighboring areas. Rainfall is generally from 6-30mm, in some places over 39mm. During thunderstorms, beware of tornadoes, hail and strong gusts of wind of about level 5-7 (8-17m/s), heavy rain causing localized flooding.

The meteorological station said that the stormy situation in the area is due to the influence of the circulation of storm No. 6 weakening into a tropical depression and the cold air intensifying weakly; the storm in the eastern Philippines is intensifying, causing the southwest monsoon to be active; at the same time, the tropical convergence zone over the Central region is causing thunderstorms to develop strongly.
