00:00Good morning, I am Benison Estareja, and we have an update regarding our monitoring of the Severe Tropical Storm Enteng
00:07with international name Yagi, this morning at 5 AM on Wednesday.
00:14The Philippine Area of Responsibility has already released this storm Enteng,
00:18and it was last seen around 265 kilometers west-northwest of Ilocos City,
00:23of Ilocos Norte this morning at 4 AM.
00:27It is getting stronger now, from 95 kilometers per hour last night,
00:31it has become 100 kilometers per hour of strong wind near its center,
00:36and it has gustiness up to 125 kilometers per hour.
00:39And for now, it is moving slowly west-northwest,
00:43far from our land, it is still in the West Philippine Sea for now.
00:47But we still expect the effect of Southwest Monsoon or Habagat,
00:51that it is being enhanced or enhanced by this storm Enteng,
00:55and knowing that it is slow for now, and getting stronger,
00:58the sometimes heavy rain will still continue in the western sections of Luzon,
01:03including Metro Manila.
01:06For now, as of 5 in the morning, we have a heavy rainfall warning that is high,
01:10orange warning here in Laloiga ng Bataan,
01:13so it means we have intense rain from 5 AM to 8 AM.
01:18While we have yellow warning or heavy rains,
01:21here in Zambales, Pampanga, Bulacan, and Metro Manila.
01:25So be careful of possible floods,
01:28and to those returning to school and work,
01:33make sure that we have raincoats like raincoats or raincoats.
01:38Meanwhile, based on our latest satellite animation,
01:40we will continue monitoring cloud clusters here in the east of Luzon,
01:45but for now, it is not possible for this to be a storm in the next 24 hours.
01:52This is the last track and latest track of hope regarding this storm Enteng.
01:57It is expected to move to the left or westward
02:00here in the South China Sea and the southern portion of China,
02:04but for now, it is still close to our land,
02:07in the West Philippine Sea,
02:09at around 200 to 300 kilometers away from Ilocos Norte.
02:14As long as the wind is not too strong, it will move away from our land,
02:18so there will be no direct effect,
02:19and the strongest wind brought by this storm Enteng is also offshore.
02:26That is why we have no tropical cyclone wind signals in any areas of northern Luzon.
02:33For now, even though this storm Enteng has already left the Philippine Area of Responsibility,
02:39strong rains will continue in the next 3 days,
02:43that is the effect of the southwest monsoon.
02:45Heavy to intense rains are expected, or 100 to 200 millimeters of rain,
02:51in 4 provinces, including Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro today and tomorrow.
02:59Meanwhile, we have moderate to heavy rains, or around 50 to 100 millimeters of rain today
03:06in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Benguet.
03:10While today and tomorrow, moderate to heavy rains are still possible
03:15here in the areas of Central Southern Luzon,
03:18including Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila,
03:24as well as Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Laguna, and the northern part of Palawan,
03:30including Calamian, Cuyo, and Cagayancillo Islands.
03:34So these are the areas where we will most likely still experience heavy rainfall warnings
03:38and rainfall advisories in the next 2 days.
03:43Meanwhile, as of Friday, September 6,
03:46even though Baguio-Enteng is already far from our land,
03:49the effects of the monsoon will still continue on the western side of Luzon,
03:55including Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro,
03:58but more on moderate to heavy rains only.
04:01To those who are asking, compared to yesterday, what will be our rains for today?
04:07For example, here in Metro Manila,
04:09yesterday's rainfall is almost equivalent to today's rainfall.
04:13The nature of our rains is not continuous with strong rains.
04:17Heavy rains will continue,
04:19and light to moderate rains will continue throughout the day,
04:22and the weather will still be gloomy.
04:24Metro Manila and the nearby areas of Central Luzon and Calabarzon.
04:30In the remaining part of our country,
04:32there are still scattered rains and thunderstorms
04:34In the nearby areas, we mentioned earlier,
04:37including Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, Marinduque,
04:42parts of Bicol Region, Quezon, and Aurora.
04:44While the places we haven't mentioned yet,
04:47here in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,
04:49the fair weather conditions will still continue,
04:51or partly cloudy,
04:53until sometimes the sky is cloudy,
04:55which is only accompanied by heavy rains
04:57and localized thunderstorms that last for 1 to 2 days.
05:02This will continue for the next 3 days.
05:06Meanwhile, severe winds will be more evident
05:10and we will feel it today,
05:12because of the heavy rains and thunderstorms.
05:16We have gusty conditions today and tomorrow
05:19in Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Isabela, Aurora,
05:24Zambales and Bataan,
05:26Bulacan, Metro Manila, Calabarzon,
05:29the whole of Mimaropa, Bicol Region,
05:32Western Visayas, Negros Provinces, and Northern Samar.
05:40We will continue to remind our countrymen
05:43that in the next 2 days,
05:46be careful of possible floods,
05:48especially in low-lying areas.
05:50There are also areas that are not flooded often
05:52that will also be flooded,
05:54knowing that we had heavy rains in the past few days.
05:56There is a high chance that we will have floods
05:59in our small river systems.
06:02We will always monitor because it is possible
06:04that upstream in the mountains,
06:06there are floods that will suddenly pour
06:08in the downstream areas.
06:10And in mountainous areas,
06:12make sure that we are monitored
06:14for possible landslides,
06:16knowing that our lands and mountains
06:18are saturated in the areas of the Northern,
06:21Central, and even here in Calabarzon
06:24and Mindoro Provinces.
06:26Always coordinate with our local
06:28Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Offices
06:30for possible evacuation
06:32and also coordinate with your local
06:34chief executives, barangay chairmen,
06:36mayors, and governors
06:38for possible suspension
06:40of your classes and jobs.
06:43And for areas with high waves,
06:46expect up to 4.5 meters
06:48or one and a half floors
06:50of houses with high waves
06:52here in the villages in Hilaga
06:54and the northern part of Luzon.
06:56Expect up to 4.5 meters
06:58over Batanes,
07:00the villages of Ilocos Norte,
07:02Ilocos Sur, La Union,
07:04parts of Pangasinan,
07:06as well as the northern coast of Cagayan,
07:08along Babuyan Islands,
07:10Pababa ng Zambales, Bataan, and Lubang Islands.
07:12If we have a gale warning,
07:14most likely suspended
07:16sea travel for small sea vessels
07:18and be careful
07:20not to spread our countrymen
07:22who have large sea vehicles.
07:24And in other areas,
07:26we will not have any problems
07:28in terms of sea travel.
07:30And before we finish,
07:32we have a Tropical Cyclone Threat
07:34Potential Forecast
07:36that is released every now and then.
07:38Today, until the next
07:40early next week, around Monday,
07:42it is possible that we will have
07:44two weather disturbances.
07:46One, within the cloud clusters
07:48that we saw in our satellite animation,
07:50at the northern coast of Luzon,
07:52it is possible that there will be
07:54a low-pressure area.
07:56But the general movement is
07:58to the north coast or away from our land.
08:00So this is not a direct threat
08:02to our country.
08:04But it is possible that there will be
08:06minimal enhancement of the coast
08:08from Friday up until weekend.
08:10Now that the weekend is coming,
08:12it is also possible that there will be
08:14a weather disturbance or low-pressure area
08:16in the southern coast of Guam
08:18and it will move to the north coast
08:20until it is close to the
08:22Philippine Area of Responsibility
08:24by Monday.
08:28Then by Tuesday next week,
08:30until the weekend next week,
08:32it is possible that it will be formed
08:34as a tropical cyclone
08:36and it is possible that
08:38it will move west-northwest
08:40until it reaches the Philippine Sea
08:42and there may be
08:44enhancement of the southwest
08:46monsoon or habagat.
08:48Based on our latest potential forecast,
08:50there is a low chance that it will landfall.
08:52But again, it is possible that it will rain
08:54especially here in the western sections
08:56of Luzon, Visayas,
08:58and Bindanao.
09:00Our threat potential forecast
09:02changes regularly
09:04two to three times per week.
09:06So make sure that we are always
09:08updated.
09:10And that is the latest.
09:12I am Benison Estareja.
09:14Take care.
