00:00We have on the line Veronica Torres, weather specialist from Pag-asa. Good morning Veronica.
00:08Good morning also to you and to our listeners.
00:12Can you say that the rain that Christine poured is record-breaking?
00:16Yes, the rain that Christine poured is record-breaking.
00:22It's a bit high.
00:24If we look at different places, the highest October 22 rainfall in Maydaid,
00:31followed by Legazpi, Hubansor, Sugon, Mulanay, Quezon, and Veracat, Anduanes.
00:36The rainfall in Maydaid is very high.
00:39We got more than 500 millimeters of rain.
00:44So that's one of the most rainfall that was poured in one storm?
00:49Yes. We can see that a lot of rain was poured, especially in the northern part of Luzon, Visayas.
00:58Veronica, Christine is comparing it to Ondoy.
01:01Yes.
01:04Is it correct? Should we compare it?
01:08Yes. Because Ondoy happened during the low season.
01:13Habagat was a component of why the rainfall was so high.
01:19Christine happened during the transition period from Habagat to Amihan season.
01:28One of the factors why the rainfall was so high was because the track was lower,
01:35so it moved to the southwest and northwest, where it coincided with the eastern part of our country.
01:43Yes. From the rainfall to this moment, Christine is still under severe tropical storm.
01:50Should we expect it to weaken in the next few hours?
01:53Yes. We can see that while the landmass of our country is being extended, especially in the northern part of Luzon,
02:01it is possible that it will weaken, but it will still remain in the severe tropical storm category.
02:07Once the landmass is extended, it is possible that it will accumulate again.
02:14We are not removing that possibility.
02:16Until when?
02:18Where else can we expect the Philippine Area of Responsibility, Christine, by Friday?
02:24Friday. Are we expected to see a new low-pressure area?
02:29For now, we are monitoring a low-pressure area outside of our Philippine Area of Responsibility.
02:36Wow. When is that?
02:39For now, our concentration is on Christine, but we are monitoring it.
02:46If we see that it is possible for it to become a storm, we will immediately issue an update.
02:51Okay. Thank you very much. Be careful.
