00:00Oh my God!
00:17Let's update on the effects of Severe Tropical Storm Christine
00:20and another typhoon that is outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
00:24Let's talk to Assistant Weather Services Chief, Chris Perez.
00:28Good morning and welcome back to Balitang Hali.
00:31Good morning, Raffy and to all our viewers.
00:34Yes, how many places have been affected by the Severe Tropical Storm Christine?
00:42Well, Raffy, for now, the category of Severe Tropical Storm Christine has been maintained
00:48and this center is considered to be moving away from our country's territory
00:52and almost at the northwestern boundary of our area of responsibility.
00:56Earlier this morning, it was located at a distance of 255 kilometers west-northwest of Bacnotan, La Union
01:03or at a distance of 255 kilometers west-southwest of Sinai, Ilocos Sur.
01:08The strong wind was still blowing up to 95 kilometers per hour near its center
01:13and the wind was blowing up to 115 kilometers per hour.
01:17At the moment, it is moving in the direction of west-northwest at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour.
01:22If this continues in our forecast speed and direction, it is possible that this afternoon or later tonight,
01:28it will continue to move out of our area of responsibility, Raffy.
01:31But is it possible that this storm Christine will return?
01:34Yes, Raffy. We are not ruling out the possibility that it will run or have a looping movement
01:44once it is outside our area of responsibility or here in the West Philippine Sea.
01:49In the coming weeks, if it is close to the Vietnam area, it will suddenly move
01:56and will return here in the middle of the West Philippine Sea.
02:00When is it possible for this interaction to happen?
02:03Aside from the return, what are the effects of this?
02:06Especially in the northern and southern zone, which is heavily affected by the flood right now.
02:11At the moment, Raffy, we are being warned about two more bad weather events
02:15outside our area of responsibility.
02:18One is low pressure and the other is tropical depression.
02:20Although it is more than 2,000 kilometers away from our country,
02:24the low pressure that we are being warned about is possible to melt.
02:27The tropical depression that we are being warned about is possible to enter our area of responsibility,
02:32either in the coming weekend or in the beginning of the next week.
02:35We are not seeing a direct interaction between this incoming storm and this storm Christine.
02:41We're not ruling out the possibility that Christine,
02:44when it loops here in the western Philippine Sea,
02:47it is possible for it to melt while we are being warned about the incoming storm.
02:51There are two scenarios that we are hoping for Raffy.
02:54Either it will head to the northern zone area or it will recurve and exit the northern boundary of our area of responsibility.
03:01Even now, we are sending our countrymen, the LGUs, disaster and risk reduction managing officers,
03:07to monitor our possible updates, tropical cyclone advisory,
03:10possibly later in the afternoon or later in the evening, regarding the incoming storm.
03:15We hope that Christine will melt and avoid this new storm.
03:19Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.
03:22Thank you and have a good day.
03:24This is Assistant Weather Services Chief Chris Perez.
