00:00The two typhoons collided inside the Philippine Air Responsibility, the Severe Tropical Storm Nica and the Tropical Storm Ophel.
00:07We will be joined by Veronica Torres, weather specialist from Pagasa. Good morning, Ms. Veronica.
00:14Good morning also, Sir Andrew, and also to our viewers in the first row.
00:19Will there be an interaction between the two typhoons, Nica and Ophel, and is it possible for them to strengthen each other?
00:26Yes, as we can see now, there is a low chance of an interaction between Ophel and Nica,
00:32because they are far from each other.
00:34So, if it comes out within the day, we expect that it is possible for Nica to come out of the PAR, and then Ophel will be next.
00:43Why is the storm coming next?
00:47As of now, although we are not yet in the La Niña conditions, it is possible that it will be hot.
00:53We are experiencing La Niña-like conditions.
00:56Usually, in such conditions, it is possible for the ocean to be hot and close to us.
01:02That is one of the main factors in the formation of a typhoon.
01:06So, if the area where the typhoon will form is closer to us, then it will be easier for it to enter our Philippine Area of Responsibility.
01:14Is it expected that the typhoon Ophel will also landfall, like Nica?
01:19Yes, we are not excluding the possibility of the typhoon Ophel landfall, possibly in the eastern section of the northern or central zone.
01:30What are the places where the typhoon Ophel will pass so that our countrymen can prepare?
01:36Yes, so if the typhoon Ophel will pass, it is possible that it will not landfall in Aurora, but possibly in Isabela or Cagayan area.
01:46So, if the typhoon passes through Cagayan, it is possible that it will pass north-northwest direction.
01:53We can see that it will recurve, so it is possible that it will pass through those parts as well.
01:57In the northern zone, it is also possible that it will pass close to Batanes and Baboyan Islands.
02:03So, unlike the typhoon Nica that passed through our landmass, the typhoon Ophel, it is possible that it will also recurve if it landsfall.
02:13So now, the typhoon Ophel is still in the eastern Visayas, but is it possible to feel its impact here in Metro Manila?
02:22In Metro Manila, we can see based on our latest analysis that the typhoon Ophel has a distance in Metro Manila.
02:29So, in Metro Manila, in the next few days, the fair weather conditions are still possible.
02:33There are chances of localised thunderstorms.
02:35But if the typhoon Ophel's track is lower, we are not removing the possibility that it is possible.
02:41If it will raise a signal, it is possible that it will be signal number one.
02:44So, Ms. Veronica, aside from Nica and Ophel, we are also being monitored by a tropical storm here in the Pacific Ocean.
02:50Is that also part of the Filipino Air Force's responsibility?
02:54Yes, you are right, Sir Andrew.
02:56We are also monitoring a typhoon outside our Philippine Area of Responsibility.
03:02This is the tropical storm Mani.
03:04At present, it is still far from our country's landmass, but we are not removing the possibility that it will landfall within the next few days.
03:13Sorry, we are not removing the possibility that it will enter our Philippine Area of Responsibility in the next few days.
03:20Thank you very much and good morning, Ms. Veronica Torres, weather specialist from Pagasa.
03:24Take care.
03:26Thank you and goodbye.
