00:00Good morning to all of you. It's already midweek and the time is now August 14, 2024.

00:07We are live from the Pag-asa Weather Forecasting Center.

00:11In our latest satellite images, we do not have a typhoon that is being monitored inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

00:17Although we have a typhoon outside, this is the Severe Tropical Storm Amphil,

00:22which is almost 2,000 kilometers east-northeast, extreme northern Luzon.

00:26The name Amphil comes from Sampaloc, a province in Cambodia.

00:31It is not directly affected by our country.

00:33It does not produce strong winds.

00:35The Severe Tropical Storm Amphil is heading towards the northern part of Japan.

00:41Amphil is an international name.

00:43As of now, the Southwest Monsoon is particularly affected by the northern and central Luzon.

00:51It will bring cloudy skies with a higher chance of rain.

00:55Particularly in the Ilocos Region and the Batanes and Babuyan Islands.

01:02We expect that the Southwest Monsoon will still be affected by the next few days until Friday,

01:07particularly in the Ilocos Region and the extreme northern Luzon.

01:10Meanwhile, in the southern part of our country, in Manila, and here in Visayas, Mindanao,

01:15and the southern part of Luzon, we will continue to experience generally fair weather.

01:19As you can see, there is not much cloudiness here in Visayas and Mindanao.

01:24Generally, we are experiencing fair weather.

01:26Aside from that, it is still possible to experience early morning rain showers,

01:29as well as thunderstorms from afternoon to night,

01:33which can last for one to two hours.

01:36As we can see, based on our latest data,

01:38there is still a small chance of thunderstorms until the end of this week.

01:43So, let's just expect localized thunderstorms from afternoon to night.

01:47That's why it's better to bring an umbrella in case of rain.

01:50Meanwhile, here in Luzon, we expect that it will be sunny.

01:54There is a high chance of rain showers in the Ilocos Region and the Batanes

01:58and the Babuyan Islands, as well as the Southwest Monsoon.

02:01Meanwhile, in the southern part of Luzon, there is still a small chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon,

02:04while there is a high chance of rain showers in the afternoon until night,

02:07as well as localized thunderstorms.

02:09The temperature in Lawag is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

02:13In Baguio, it is 17 to 22 degrees Celsius.

02:15Meanwhile, in Togogarang, it is 25 to 33 degrees Celsius.

02:18In Manila, it is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

02:22For our motorcade later, for our Olympians,

02:25it is possible that there will be localized thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon.

02:29In Tagaytay, it is 23 to 30 degrees Celsius,

02:32while in Legazpi, it is 26 to 32 degrees Celsius.

02:35Here we are in Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao.

02:38In the Palawan area, we also expect isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.

02:43The temperature in Kalayaan Islands is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

02:47In Puerto Princesa, it is also 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

02:52In Cabizayaan, we expect isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.

02:57The temperature in Iloilo is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:00In Cebu, it is up to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:02Meanwhile, in Tacloban, it is 26 to 32 degrees Celsius.

03:06A large portion of Mindanao will still experience hot weather in the afternoon

03:11while there is a high chance of rain in the afternoon until nightfall.

03:15The temperature in Zamboanga City is 24 to 33 degrees Celsius.

03:19In Cagandeoro, it is 25 to 32 degrees Celsius,

03:22while in Davao, it is 25 to 33 degrees Celsius.

03:26Although it is generally fair weather,

03:28it is still possible for isolated rain showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon until nightfall.

03:33As of now, we do not have a high-level gale warning

03:36that is why it is better to stay away from sea vehicles and small boats in our country.

03:41Although we continue to give warnings,

03:43if there are severe thunderstorms, the waves of the sea can sometimes rise.

03:48That is why it is better to be careful, especially with small boats.
