00:00Happy Thursday to all of us, I am Benison Estareja.
00:04The effects of the Havagat or Southwest Monsoon continues here in a large part of the Northern and Central Luzon
00:10and the western sections will still be the most affected.
00:13Meanwhile, Southern Luzon, Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao
00:17are still expected to be hit by localised thunderstorms or rains that do not last long.
00:23Meanwhile, the typhoon we are monitoring outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility
00:28from a tropical depression has increased to a tropical storm
00:32and has an international name, Maria.
00:34This is contributed by the USA.
00:36And lastly, this was observed 2,230 kilometers east-northeast of Batanes.
00:42Based on our analysis, this will not enter our Philippine Area of Responsibility
00:47and will move away towards the east of Japan.
00:50We did not expect any direct effects to our country.
00:53And these cloud clusters in the east of Luzon
00:57are associated with the trough or extension of this tropical storm, Maria.
01:02And we did not expect any effects to our country.
01:05The low-pressure area that we were monitoring yesterday was also hit as of 2 p.m.
01:10and we are not monitoring any weather disturbance inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility for today.
01:17By today, we still expect cloudy skies and rains in the Isambales, Bataan and a large part of the Ilocos region.
01:24This is the effect of the Hanging Habagat or Southwest Monsoon.
01:28The nature of our rains for today is sometimes light to moderate rains
01:34and there are also thunderstorms, especially from yesterday until tonight.
01:37So be careful of possible floods and landslides
01:40and always bring an umbrella, especially for our students.
01:44In the remaining part of Luzon, there are also rains as early as this morning
01:48here in the part of Mimaropa, Mindoro Provinces, a large part of Calabarzon, Metro Manila,
01:54almost the entire central Luzon.
01:56Expect rains before noon time and here in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
02:01And then expect in the remaining part of the country of Luzon,
02:04a part of cloudy to cloudy skies.
02:07From yesterday until tonight, a large part of Luzon, including Metro Manila,
02:12we expect that the rains, even if not continuous, are sometimes strong.
02:16So bring an umbrella if necessary, especially for those who are working and for our fellow students.
02:23Our range of temperature in Metro Manila is from 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.
02:28The hottest in Maytugui, Caraos City is up to 34 degrees Celsius.
02:33And here in Baguio, it's still cold, from 17 to 24 degrees Celsius.
02:39For our fellow citizens in Palawan and Visayas,
02:42for this morning until noon, a part of cloudy to cloudy skies.
02:46And there will only be heavy rains or landslides,
02:50especially here in the northern portion of Palawan, western Visayas, and Negros Island.
02:55A part of the effect of the southwest monsoon.
02:57And there will be localized thunderstorms over the rest of Visayas and rest of Palawan.
03:02Range of temperature in most places here in Visayas and Palawan is from 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.
03:10For our fellow citizens in Mindanao,
03:12for this morning, the chances of rain are high.
03:15In Zamboanga Peninsula, Bang Samoro Region,
03:18as well as in Misamis Occidental, Northern Norte,
03:21up to this part of Soxargen, Sultan Kudarat, and Sarangani.
03:25And this is also a part of the effect of the southwest monsoon.
03:27For the rest of Mindanao, the chances of rain are high,
03:30up to cloudy skies in the morning until noon.
03:33By afternoon and evening, the majority of Mindanao will be mostly cloudy skies.
03:38And there will also be heavy rains or landslides,
03:42which usually last for 2 to 3 hours.
03:46Our temperature is still the hottest here in Mindanao,
03:49in the cities of Zamboanga, Davao, and Butuan,
03:52up to 33 degrees Celsius.
03:55For our fellow citizens,
03:58there will be sea travels by today and tomorrow.
04:00We have no hope of a gale warning
04:02because the southwest monsoon is weak.
04:05Usually, the waves are 1 meter high in a large part of our country.
04:10But if we have thunderstorms,
04:12especially here in Northern Luzon,
04:14the waves can be up to 2 meters high.
04:18By tomorrow and until the weekend,
04:20the chances of a new weather disturbance are high.
04:24Here in the east of Taiwan,
04:26in the northeast of Batanes,
04:28based on the Tropical Cyclone Threat Potential Forecast,
04:34as a low-pressure area.
04:36And this LPA, plus the Sea Tropical Storm Maria,
04:40which is far from our country,
04:42which is triggering the southwest monsoon
04:45in the next three days.
04:47This is still the most affected in the western section of Luzon.
04:50From Friday up until Sunday,
04:52the chances of rain are still high.
04:54Here in the Ilocos region, Batanes and Baboyan Islands,
04:57in Zambales, Bataan,
04:59up to Occidental Mindoro,
05:01Metro Manila, Batangas, Cavite,
05:03the chances of rain are high
05:05on Friday and Saturday.
05:07So make sure that you bring an umbrella
05:09if you're going out of your house.
05:11The rain is weak until midday.
05:14As for the rest of Luzon,
05:16the effects of the southwest monsoon are expected.
05:18Partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
05:20the chances of rain are also high.

05:24and there are times when it stops
05:26from morning to afternoon,
