It has conditions that are gradually easing afterward.
Meteorologists warned that rainfall could be accompanied by thunderstorms and strong southerly winds reaching 60 to 70 km/h, reducing visibility and causing high waves along coastal areas.

The Ministry of Public Works deployed emergency teams nationwide to manage water pooling and maintain road safety, while authorities cautioned that scattered thunderstorms could intensify in some regions, with a chance of hail.
