00:00Good morning to all of you and the time is now August 5, 2024.

00:07So live from here in Pag-asa Weather Forecasting Center.

00:10In our latest satellite images, we can see that we have two low-pressure areas.

00:15One is inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility while the other is outside.

00:20The one inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility is Huling na Mataan,

00:24more than 1,000 kilometers east-northeast of Extreme Northern Luzon.

00:28Meanwhile, the one outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility is in the east-northeast part of Luzon.

00:36As of now, these two low-pressure areas are not expected to become a storm,

00:41at least based on the latest data that we have collected.

00:45It still has no direct effect on any part of our country.

00:49And we will continue to monitor this, especially since it is still in the ocean.

00:54The possibility that it will become a storm in the next few days is still possible.

00:59Again, based on the latest data that we have collected this morning,

01:04there is still a small chance that these two low-pressure areas will become a storm.

01:08One is inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility while the other is outside.

01:11This Southwest Monsoon or Habagat, as you can see,

01:14there is still a lot of rain here in the Visayas and Southern part of Luzon.

01:18This is the first time that there will be rain, especially here in the Visayas and Southern part of Luzon.

01:25So, we expect that today, there is still a high chance that the sky will be cloudy

01:29and that there will be heavy rains here in the Western Visayas, Negros Island Region, Central Visayas,

01:36as well as in the Southern part of Luzon, along with Bataan and Sambales area.

01:42In the Visayas and Southern part of Luzon and in the Mindanao,

01:48isolated rain showers and thunderstorms will be experienced from day to night.

01:53It is also possible that there will be rain in the early hours of the day,

01:55which is one of the characteristics of the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat.

01:59This type of rain will continue to fall in Habagat,

02:02particularly in the Visayas and Southern part of Luzon in the next few days.

02:07Here in Luzon, we can see that there is a high chance of rain in Mindoro,

02:12particularly in Occidental Mindoro, as well as in Sambales and Bataan.

02:16As of 4 a.m., we have the Thunderstorm Advisory,

02:19there are experiences of rain in some parts of Sambales,

02:22as well as in Bataan, Cavite, and some parts of Camaynila.

02:25Normally, it can last up to 2 hours.

02:28In other parts of Luzon, we can see isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.

02:34It is possible that it will still be hot in the afternoon.

02:36The temperature outside is 26 to 32 degrees Celsius.

02:40In some parts of Taguigaraw, it is 25 to 34 degrees Celsius.

02:44In Baguio, it is 17 to 24 degrees Celsius.

02:47While in Camaynila, the temperature is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

02:52In Tagaytay, it is up to 31 degrees Celsius.

02:54In the area of Legazpi City, in the Bicol Region, it is up to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:00Here in Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao,

03:03a large part of Palawan will experience cloudy skies with rain showers.

03:09The temperature in Kalayaan Island is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:13In Puerto Princesa, it is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:18It will also be cloudy skies in the western Visayas,

03:22central Visayas, and Negros Island Region,

03:24where the temperature in Iloilo is 25 to 31 degrees Celsius.

03:29In Cebu, it is 25 to 31 degrees Celsius.

03:32In the area of Eastern Visayas, it is bigger.

03:36The possibility of rain showers from day to night

03:39is due to isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.

03:42Possibly, it is still hot in the afternoon in Tacloban,

03:45where the temperature is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:49Meanwhile, a large part of Mindanao will experience rain showers

03:53from day to night due to localized thunderstorms.

03:58The temperature in Zamboanga is 25 to 33 degrees Celsius.

04:02In Aguiendeoro, it is up to 32 degrees Celsius.

04:04Meanwhile, in Davao, it is 26 to 33 degrees Celsius.

04:08As of now, we do not have a high-altitude gale warning

04:11to save the expansion of sea vehicles and small boats

04:14to our countrymen.

04:16Just be careful when there are thunderstorms

04:18that sometimes will make the waves of our ocean stronger.
