As the day progresses, the rest of the country will remain partly cloudy and warm.
In light of the forecasted thunderstorms, the department urges the public to stay indoors when thunder is heard to ensure safety.
The country is currently experiencing moist and unstable weather, which has led to widespread thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.
