00:00The Philippine Area of Responsibility has just released this storm,
00:05and it was last seen around 265 kilometers west-northwest of Ilocos City,
00:11of Ilocos Norte at 4 o'clock in the morning.
00:14It is getting stronger now from 95 kilometers per hour last night,
00:19it became 100 kilometers per hour of strong wind near its center,
00:23and it has gustiness up to 125 kilometers per hour.
00:27And right now, it is moving slowly west-northwest,
00:31far from our land, it is still in the West Philippine Sea right now.
00:35But let's still expect the effect of Southwest Monsoon or Habagat
00:39that it is being enhanced or enhanced by this storm,
00:42and knowing that it is slow right now,
00:45and it is getting stronger, the sometimes heavy rain will continue
00:48in the western sections of Luzon, also known as Metro Manila.
00:53Right now, as of 5 in the morning, we have heavy rainfall warning,
00:57orange warning here in Laloiga ng Bataan,
01:00so it means we have intense rain from 5 to 8 in the morning,
01:05while we have yellow warning or heavy rains here in Zambales,
01:09Pampanga, Bulacan, and Metro Manila.
01:13So be careful of possible floods,
01:15and to those returning from school and work,
01:20make sure to bring raincoats such as umbrella or raincoat.
01:25In the meantime, based on our latest satellite animation,
01:28we will continue monitoring the cloud clusters here in the east of Luzon,
01:33but none of these could possibly be a storm in the next 24 hours.
01:39This is the latest track of expectations regarding this storm.
01:44It is expected to move westward
01:48to the South China Sea and the southern portion of China,
01:51but for now, it is still close to our land,
01:54to the West Philippine Sea,
01:56at around 200 to 300 kilometers away from Ilocos Norte.
02:01The strong winds are now moving away from our land,
02:05so there is no direct effect,
02:06and the strongest winds brought by this storm are also offshore.
02:13That's why we don't have tropical cyclone wind signals in any areas,
02:17of northern Luzon.
02:20Even though the Philippine area of responsibility for this storm is now out,
02:26strong rains will continue for the next three days,
02:30with the effect of the southwest monsoon.
02:33Heavy to intense rains are still expected,
02:35or 100 to 200 millimeters of rain,
02:38in four provinces, including Pangasinan, Zambales, Bataan,
02:43and Occidental Mindoro today and tomorrow.
02:46Meanwhile, we have moderate to heavy rains,
02:49or around 50 to 100 millimeters of rain today,
02:53in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Benguet.
02:57While today and tomorrow,
02:59moderate to heavy rains are still possible
03:02in the areas of central southern Luzon,
03:05including Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Metro Manila,
03:11Cavite, Batangas, Rizal, Laguna, and Hilagang Bahagi ng Palawan,
03:17including Calamian, Cuyo, and Cagayancillo Islands.
03:21These are the areas where we will most likely still have heavy rainfall warnings
03:25and rainfall advisories for the next two days.
03:30Meanwhile, when Friday, September 6 arrives,
03:33even though Baguio-Enteng is already far from our land,
03:36Baguio-Enteng, the effects of heavy rainfall will continue
03:39only in the western side of Luzon,
03:43including Zambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro,
03:46but more on moderate to heavy rainfall only.
03:49To those who are asking,
03:50compared to yesterday, what will be our rainfall for today?
03:54For example, here in Metro Manila,
03:56yesterday's rainfall is almost equivalent to today's rainfall.
04:00The nature of our rainfall is not continuous,
04:04and light to moderate rains are expected throughout the day.
04:09The weather will still be gloomy in Metro Manila
04:12and the nearby areas in Central Luzon and Calabarzon.
04:17In the remaining part of our country,
04:19there are still scattered thunderstorms in the nearby areas
04:23that we mentioned earlier,
04:25including Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, Marinduque,
04:29parts of Bicol Region, Quezon, and Aurora.
04:32As for the areas we haven't mentioned yet,
04:34here in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao,
04:37the fair weather conditions will continue,
04:39or partly cloudy,
04:40up to sometimes cloudy skies
04:42that are accompanied by scattered rains
04:45and localized thunderstorms
04:46that last for one to two days,
04:49in the next three days.
04:53Meanwhile, severe winds
04:55or strong winds will be more evident
04:57and we will feel it today
04:59because of the strong winds
05:01that are accompanied by scattered thunderstorms.
05:04We have gusty conditions today and tomorrow
05:07in Ilocos Region,
05:08Abra, Benguet, Isabela, Aurora,
05:11as well as Zambales and Bataan,
05:13Bulacan, Metro Manila, Calabarzon,
05:17all of Mimaropa,
05:18as well as Bicol Region,
05:20Western Visayas, Negros Provinces,
05:24and Northern Samar.
05:27We would like to remind our countrymen
05:30that in the next two days,
05:33be careful of possible floods,
05:35especially in low-lying areas.
05:37There are also areas that are not flooded
05:39that will be flooded
05:40knowing that we have rains
05:42in the coming days.
05:43There is a high chance
05:44that rivers will overflow
05:46in our small river systems.
05:49We should always monitor
05:50because it is possible
05:51that upstream in the mountains
05:53there will be floods
05:55that will suddenly overflow
05:56in the downstream areas.
05:58And in mountainous areas,
05:59make sure that we are monitored
06:01for possible landslides
06:03knowing that our lands
06:05and mountains are saturated
06:07in the areas of the Northern Central Zone
06:10and also here in Calabarzon
06:12and Mindoro Provinces.
06:14Always coordinate
06:15with our local disaster risk reduction
06:17and management offices
06:18for possible evacuation
06:20and also coordinate
06:21with your local chief executives,
06:23barangay chairmen,
06:24mayors and governors
06:26for possible suspension
06:27of your classes and jobs.
06:31And for the areas
06:32with high floods,
06:33expect up to 4.5 meters
06:36or in one-half of the area
06:38of high-rises
06:39of floods
06:40here in the villages
06:41in Hilaga
06:42and the northern part of Luzon.
06:45Expect up to 4.5 meters
06:47over Batanes,
06:48villages of Ilocos Norte,
06:49Ilocos Sur,
06:50La Union,
06:51Bahagi Pongasinan,
06:53Northern Coast of Cagayan,
06:55Cabinan ng Baboyan Islands,
06:56Pababa ng Zambales,
06:58Bataan and Lubang Islands.
07:00If we have a gale warning,
07:01most likely suspended
07:03sea travel for small sea vessels
07:06and be careful
07:07for the expansion
07:08of our countrymen
07:09who have large sea vehicles.
07:11And in other areas,
07:12we will not have a problem
07:14in terms of sea travel.
07:17And before we finish,
07:18we have a tropical cyclone
07:20threat potential forecast
07:21that releases hope
07:24every now and then.
07:25Today,
07:26until the next,
07:27early next week,
07:28around Monday,
07:29it is possible
07:30that we will have
07:31two weather disturbances.
07:33One,
07:34within the cloud clusters
07:36that we showed
07:37in our satellite animation,
07:38in the northern coast of Luzon,
07:40it is possible that
07:41there will be a low-pressure area.
07:43But the general movement
07:45is to the north coast
07:46or away from our land,
07:48so there is no direct threat
07:49to our country.
07:51But it is possible
07:52that there will be
07:53a minimal enhancement
07:54of the sea
07:55from Friday
07:56up until the weekend.
07:57Now that the weekend is coming,
07:58it is also possible
07:59that there will be
08:00a weather disturbance
08:01or low-pressure area
08:02in the far part of Mindanao,
08:04in the south of Guam,
08:05and it will move
08:06to the north of Canluran
08:08until it is close
08:09to the Philippine Area
08:10of Responsibility
08:11by Monday.
08:15Then,
08:16by Tuesday next week,
08:18until the weekend next week,
08:20it is possible
08:21that it will be formed
08:22as a tropical cyclone
08:24and it is possible
08:25that it will move
08:26west-northwest
08:27into our part
08:28until it reaches
08:29the Philippine Sea
08:30and there may be
08:31an enhancement
08:32of southwest Monsoon
08:33or Habagat.
08:34Based on our
08:35latest potential forecast,
08:36there is a low chance
08:37that it will land.
08:39However,
08:40again,
08:41the rains will return,
08:42especially here
08:43in the western sections
08:44of Luzon,
08:45Visayas,
08:46and Mindanao.
08:47Regularly,
08:48our threat potential forecast
08:49changes
08:50two to three times
08:51per week.
08:52So,
08:53make sure
08:54that we are always
08:55updated on our updates.
