00:00Good morning to all of you. This is the latest weather update for Tuesday, August 13, 2024.

00:08Currently, the typhoon that we are watching outside our Philippine Area of Responsibility is still in full swing.

00:15It is in the Tropical Storm category with an international name, Sea Amphil.

00:20The name Amphil comes from Cambodia, which means tamarin.

00:25As we can see in our latest satellite image, the Tropical Storm Amphil is far from our land,

00:31which is why we do not expect it to affect any part of our country in the coming days

00:38because it will continue to move in the direction northeastward or away from our Philippine Area of Responsibility,

00:44although it will slow down its movement.

00:49Meanwhile, the weather system that is currently affecting our country

00:53is still being affected by the Southwest Monsoon or Hanging Habagat,

00:58which is affecting some parts of the Luzon and the western section of the Visayas.

01:03As we can see in our latest satellite image, we can see thick clouds,

01:08especially in the northern part of the Luzon,

01:11which is why we are still hoping that it will continue to rain in some parts of the northern Luzon,

01:17central Luzon, and also here in the extreme northern Luzon area.

01:21Meanwhile, in most parts of our country, we are generally in fair weather conditions.

01:25We do not see any thick clouds that could cause rain all day long in most parts of our country,

01:33although we do see some clouds that do not last long.

01:37We are still hoping that the generally fair weather conditions will continue,

01:41especially in the afternoon,

01:43and there are still chances of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms,

01:47or sudden or quick rains.

01:51In the coming days, we are hoping that the Tropical Storm Amphibious will continue to move away from our country.

01:58Meanwhile, the Southwest Monsoon will continue to move until the coming weekend,

02:04and it is possible for it to rain, especially in other parts of the northern Luzon.

02:08Meanwhile, afternoon rain showers or thunderstorms will be common in most parts of our country.

02:15That is why we are preparing our umbrellas.

02:20In the coming days in Luzon, as we mentioned earlier,

02:25the Southwest Monsoon or Tropical Storm Amphibious will continue to move,

02:29especially in the areas of Ilocos Region, Zambales, Batanes, and Babuyan Islands.

02:36It is possible for it to rain and thunderstorms to occur.

02:41Meanwhile, in the northern part of Luzon, the generally fair weather conditions will continue.

02:47There are still chances of sudden or quick rain showers,

02:52usually in the afternoon or at night, or possibly in the early morning.

02:56As for the temperature, we expect it to be around 26 to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:04For Baguio, it will be 17 to 23 degrees Celsius.

03:07For Tuguegarao, it will be 25 to 33 degrees Celsius.

03:11Maximum temperatures here in Metro Manila will reach 32 degrees Celsius.

03:17For Tagaytay, it will be 23 to 30 degrees Celsius.

03:20Meanwhile, here in Legazpi, it will be 26 to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:26As for the weather conditions in the northern part of our country,

03:29as we saw in the satellite image,

03:31it is not visible that it will rain heavily,

03:34and that it is possible for it to rain in the northern part of our province.

03:39So, we expect it to be warm, especially in the afternoon,

03:43and there are still chances of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms,

03:47usually in the afternoon or at night.

03:50As for the temperature in Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao,

03:56for Kalayaan Islands and Puerto Princesa,

03:59our maximum temperatures will reach 32 degrees Celsius,

04:02as well as in Iloilo and Tacloban.

04:05Meanwhile, the expected temperature in Cebu will be 26 to 33 degrees Celsius.

04:12For Zamboanga, it will be 24 to 33 degrees Celsius.

04:17For Cagayan de Oro, it will be 26 to 32 degrees Celsius.

04:20And for Davao, it will be 25 to 33 degrees Celsius.

04:26As for the condition of our ocean,

04:28we still do not have any gale warnings as of now.

04:30The ocean will experience waves up to the depth of the ocean.

04:35So, our fellow countrymen will be able to travel far,

04:37especially those who have small fishing boats.
