No wind signals are raised at this time but in anticipation of the arrival of strong breeze to near-gale conditions associated with Egay, wind signals may be hoisted within the day or tomorrow in some areas in the Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas.

Pagasa said the enhanced southwest monsoon may also bring gusty conditions over the following areas exposed to winds: western and southern portions of Visayas, the northern portions of Northern Mindanao and Caraga, Romblon and Masbate.
