00:00And in our latest satellite images, we can see that there are still three weather systems that are affecting our country.
00:06The Intertropical Convergence Zone will still bring cloudy skies and a high chance of rain in a large part of Visayas, Mindanao, Palawan, and some parts of Bicol Region.
00:19The Shear Line will still bring rain and cloudy skies, particularly in some parts of Northern Luzon.
00:29While the Amihan or North East Monsoon will still bring light rain, particularly in some parts of Extreme Northern Luzon, the area of Batanes and Baboyan Islands.
00:40And we can see that for now, we are not monitoring any low pressure areas inside and outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
00:48That is why we are not expecting any storms in the next few days.
00:51And generally, this year, in 2024, there were 18 storms that entered and formed inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
01:00In other parts of our country, including some parts of Luzon and Metro Manila, we are still expecting generally fair weather,
01:09but it means that isolated rain showers and thunderstorms are still possible.
01:13There are isolated light rains here in Ilocos Region.
01:17Here in Luzon, we are expecting that there will be a high chance of light rain showers and thunderstorms,
01:24particularly here in Batanes and Baboyan Islands, while in other parts of the eastern section of Luzon,
01:31including Cagayan Valley, Aurora, Quezon Province, and Bicol Region,
01:40we will still experience cloudy skies with occasional rain showers and thunderstorms,
01:45just like the Sheer Line and Intertropical Convergence Zone.
01:50In the other 10 parts of Luzon, especially in the western section of Luzon,
01:55we are expecting isolated light rains in Ilocos Region and Central Luzon,
01:59while in Manila, isolated rain showers and thunderstorms are still possible.
02:05And in other parts of Southern Luzon, this is the last day of 2024.
02:10The temperature outside is 25-33°C in Tagaygaran up to 27°C,
02:1617-24°C in Baguio while in Metro Manila, 24-31°C,
02:21in Tagaytay, 22-29°C, and in Legazpi, 25-30°C.
02:28And here in Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao,
02:31the Intertropical Convergence Zone, or ITCZ,
02:34will bring cloudy skies with occasional rain showers in Palawan,
02:39and the temperature outside in Kalayaan Islands, 25-31°C,
02:43in Puerto Princesa, 25-32°C.
02:47It will also be rainy, especially in eastern Visayas and other parts of Visayas,
02:52like ITCZ, while here in Panay Islands,
02:55we expect generally fair weather with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.
03:00The temperature outside in Iloilo, 24-32°C,
03:04in Cebu, 26-31°C, while in Tacloban, 25-30°C.
03:11And in ITCZ, a large part of Mindanao will bring cloudy skies
03:16with occasional rain showers,
03:18especially in the eastern section of Mindanao, the Caraga and Dabao regions.
03:24The temperature outside in Zamboanga, 24-32°C,
03:27while in Cagandeoro, 25-30°C,
03:30while in Dabao, 24-32°C.
03:34Meanwhile, we do not have high gale warnings in any part of our country,
03:38even though there is still hope,
03:40especially in the eastern part of Luzon,
03:43where there is still a strong wind,
03:44and it is possible that there will be a chance that there will be a sea wave
03:47that will be experienced by the local communities of our country.
03:51So, be careful, especially if there are thunderstorms
03:55that can cause a strong sea wave.
03:58Tomorrow, the first day of 2024,
04:02it is possible that there will be a chance
04:04that there will be a strong rain shower
04:06in the eastern section of Visayas
04:08and some parts of the Bicol region.
04:11This is the tip of the ITCZ, or Intertropical Convergence Zone.
04:15So, be careful about the possibility of sudden landslides.
04:20And on January 2, on Thursday,
04:22it is possible that there will be a shear line
04:24that will bring rains here in the eastern section of Luzon.
04:29So, be careful because it is also possible that there will be floods,
04:32flash floods, and landslides.
04:34We also expect that towards the weekend,
04:36when the shear line comes,
04:37a large portion of Luzon,
04:39including the Metro Manila,
04:41it is possible that the sky will be clouded
04:43with scattered rains, lightning, and thunder.
