00:00Our latest satellite images show the continuation of the southwest monsoon
00:04and this will bring a cloudy sky with scattered rains
00:09in a large part of Central and Southern Luzon,
00:13the Mimaropa-Calabarzon, along with the Bicol Region,
00:16and Metro Manila and the Kabisayaan area.
00:20As you can see, it's almost cloudy, especially here in Central and Southern Luzon.
00:25In particular, I will give the area of Palawan, Antique,
00:31as well as some parts of Occidental Mindoro,
00:34along with the areas of Cavite, Batangas, Bataan, Zambales,
00:39Pampanga-Tarlac, and Metro Manila,
00:41where this morning, we were able to monitor the conditions
00:45until sometimes there are heavy rains.
00:47This will continue until there are heavy rains this morning,
00:51but we are hoping that this afternoon and late afternoon,
00:54there will be less heavy rains.
00:56But when it comes to the afternoon and evening,
00:58the area of Central Luzon, the western section of Central and Southern Luzon,
01:03along with Metro Manila, will still experience heavy rains
01:06until sometimes there are heavy rains.
01:11We also issued a heavy rainfall warning,
01:13in particular in the area of Metro Manila,

01:55we still haven't monitored any low-pressure areas or typhoons
01:59in the Philippine area of responsibility.
02:02Until the weekend,
02:03we expect that the rainfalls of Habagat will decrease.
02:06When the weekend comes,
02:07a large part of the country will experience generally fair weather
02:11with the usual isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.
02:14We are hoping that,
02:16because of the continuous heavy rains here in Metro Manila,
02:19Western section of Central and Southern Luzon,
02:21we will be more careful in the possibility of flooding
02:25and landslides
02:27because of the continuous heavy rains.
02:31And this is where we expect the weather will be in the area of Luzon
02:35and a large part of Central and Southern Luzon,

02:56and Ilocos region,
02:57we will experience generally fair weather,
03:00but it is still possible for isolated rain showers and thunderstorms
03:03especially in the afternoon and evening.
03:05Again, the heavy rains will decrease
