00:01Benison, Estareja, is a rainy Monday for all of us.
00:06It continues to rain in a large part of the country because of the different weather systems.
00:11The first one is that of the Amihan or Northeast Monsoon in a large part of the Northern and Central Luzon.
00:17The shearline or the line where the Northeast Monsoon and the hot Easter Leaves meet
00:23also rains in some parts of the Central and Southern Luzon.
00:26While in the rest of the country, there is still the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ line
00:33that meets the North, the wind from the Northern and Southern Hemispheres
00:38even though the chance of rain is high especially in the Eastern Visayas and around Sulusi.
00:43But based on our latest satellite animation,
00:46we do not see any low-pressure area or typhoon that can affect our country
00:50until the next days or until the first days of 2025.
00:56Rainfall is expected in a large part of the Luzon due to the effect of the shearline and the Intertropical Convergence Zone.
01:03This includes the mainland of Cagayan, as well as Isabela,
01:06below Aurora, Quezon, especially here in the areas of Laguna and Rizal,
01:12a large part of the Bicol Region, and also here in a large part of Mimaropa.
01:16Rainfall and thunderstorms are expected to be strong
01:20that can cause floods and landslides.
01:22And because the land is saturated,
01:25there is a high chance of landslides in the areas of Quezon and Bicol Region.
01:30Meanwhile, the Amiha or Northeast Monsoon
01:33is still there in the Northern Luzon,
01:35raining on the remaining part of Cagayan Valley,
01:38as well as Cordillera Administrative Region,
01:40light to moderate rains,
01:42while here in the Ilocos Region and the remaining part of Central Luzon,
01:46partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
01:48and is accompanied by heavy rain.
01:49For Metro Manila, Cavite, and Batangas,
01:52there will be rain as early as this morning until later this afternoon,
01:55but by the afternoon,
01:57partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
01:59and there is a chance of heavy rain or thunderstorms.
02:02In Metro Manila, the temperature is from 24 to 31 degrees Celsius,
02:07while it is still cold here in Baguio City,
02:09from 17 to 23 degrees Celsius.
02:13For our fellowmen here in Palawan,
02:15where the heavy rains are still frequent,
02:17especially in the central and southern portions,
02:20that is the effect of the ITCZ,
02:22so we don't have a storm right now.
02:24For a large part of Visayas,
02:26we also have the heaviest rains in Negros Oriental,
02:29as well as Siquijor,
02:31and a large part of Eastern Visayas,
02:33that is also the result of the ITCZ,
02:35or Intertropical Convergence Zone,
02:37and the rest of Visayas,
02:39mostly cloudy skies,
02:41and there are also rains that are not continuous,
02:43but sometimes are heavy,
02:45when it comes to the afternoon and afternoon.
02:47Here in Cebu, 25 to 31 degrees Celsius.
02:51And for our fellowmen in Mindanao,
02:53there are also rains as early as this morning,
02:55in Zamboanga Peninsula,
02:57as well as Visamis Occidental,
02:59Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur,
03:01a large part of Carraga Region,
03:03as well as Davao Oriental,
03:05and the heaviest, possibly up to 100 millimeters,
03:07in Zamboanga del Norte,
03:09as well as Dinagat Islands,
03:11our rains there are still due to the ITCZ.
03:14And for the rest of Mindanao,
03:15mostly cloudy to cloudy skies,
03:17morning to afternoon,
03:19but when it comes to afternoon to night,
03:21thunderstorms will also be expected,
03:23so make sure to bring an umbrella,
03:25most of Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao.
03:29In Metro Davao,
03:31the temperature is from 25 to 32 degrees Celsius.
03:34Still due to the rainstorm in Northern Luzon,
03:37we still expect a gale warning,
03:39or high waves up to 4.5 meters.
03:42As far as Batanes,
03:44as far as Baboyan Islands,
03:46Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur,
03:48down to Northern La Union,
03:50up to Isabela,
03:52the northern part of Aurora,
03:54and the northern and eastern coast of Polilio Islands.
03:56The waves there are at one and a half times the level of Gusali,
04:00so it is still dangerous for small sea vessels,
04:03especially for our fellow countrymen
04:05who are still going home
04:07to their provinces here in Polilio Islands,
04:09as well as extreme northern Luzon.
04:11In the coming days,
04:13the waves will be weaker,
04:15but the waves will still be up to 3 to 3.5 meters
04:18in the big cities of Northern Luzon.
04:21And for our 4-day weather forecast,
04:24we expect for the new year to welcome,
04:27that's Tuesday and Wednesday,
04:29there will still be rainstorms in a large part of the country
04:31due to the Northeast Monsoon,
04:33shearline, and ITCZ.
04:35We still have the effect of a gale
04:37in a large part of Northern Luzon,
04:38so we still expect for a mild to moderate rain
04:42in the Cordillera and Cagayan Valleys,
04:44while we still expect for scattered rainstorms
04:47here in Cagayan, Isabela, and Quirino.

05:10up to 100 mm by tomorrow
05:12in Eastern Samar, Dinagat Islands, and Surigao del Norte,

05:34Northern portion of Mindanao,
