As of 4:00am on Friday, Dec. 13, the Philippine Atmospheric, scattered rains and thunderstorms affects the Northern and Central Luzon areas, as well as Southern Mindanao, due to the influence of the northeast monsoon (locally known as 'amihan'), and the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).

00:00At the moment, we are still not being watched by LPA or typhoons inside and outside of our Philippine Area of Responsibility
00:08even though we can still expect the rainy season in some parts of our country
00:13due to the weather systems that will continue to affect our region.
00:18The first effect of the Northeast Monsoon is still felt here in the area of Northern Luzon
00:23and it will continue to affect the cloudy skies and the weak rains in the eastern section of the Northern Luzon area.
00:31Meanwhile, in Badang, Mindanao, we can still see some clouds that are affecting the southern portion of Mindanao.
00:38That is the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ that is slowly shifting or adjusting downwards.
00:45Those clouds are mostly only affecting the southern part of Mindanao as well as Palawan.
00:52So, it will still be rainy in some parts of Mindanao today.
00:56In more than ten parts of our country, we can still see some clouds here in some parts of Southern Luzon
01:03although we can see that those clouds are getting thinner.
01:07So, we can still expect or it is still possible that there will be scattered rains,
01:11landslides and landslides in some parts or some provinces in Southern Luzon
01:15due to the effect of the easterlies or the hot winds coming from the Pacific Ocean.
01:22In most parts of our country, in Visayas, in most parts of Mindanao, in Palawan
01:28and the rest of Luzon area, the weather will be clear except for the landslides or sudden rains.
01:37And for the next few days, we expect that generally fair weather conditions will continue this coming Saturday
01:44in most parts of our country.
01:46But the effect of the easterlies will gradually intensify this coming weekend.
01:52And due to the intensification of the effect of the easterlies,
01:56the effect of the shear line or the collision of cold and hot winds will return.
02:02So, it is possible that by Saturday evening or in the coming Sunday,
02:06the shear line of the rains in some parts of Quezon and Bicol Region will collapse again.
02:14It is possible that it will happen this coming weekend or in the middle of the weekend.
02:18And it is also possible that it will affect some provinces.
02:22Meanwhile, for this coming weekend, at least, we have not seen or expected LPA or typhoons
02:29that could possibly affect any part of our country.
02:33So, besides the strong winds, it is also possible that the rains in northern Luzon
02:39and the shear line that could possibly affect the southern part of Luzon
02:44will still cause clear or generally fair weather conditions in most parts of our country
02:50except for the landslides or sudden rains due to isolated thunderstorms.
02:58As for the weather conditions here in Luzon, due to the continuous effect of the cold winds,
03:05it will still be cloudy in some parts of Cagayan Valley
03:09as well as in some portions of Cordillera Administrative Region,
03:13such as Apayau, Ifugao, as well as in Mountain Province and Calinga.
03:18The rains that we are expecting here are mostly light rains.
03:24Here in the eastern sections of southern Luzon, there is Quezon and Bicol Region.
03:29It is still possible that there will be scattered rains,
03:32but we do not expect that it will be as strong as the last days due to the effect of the shear line.
03:40So, the rains in Quezon and Bicol Region will have an easterly effect today.
03:47And in the northern part of Luzon, for Ilocos Region, there is Abra, as well as in Benguet,
03:53in a large part of Central Luzon.
03:55The weather will also be clear.
03:57There is a possibility that there will be light rains or just quick storms.
04:02And for areas of Metro Manila, in a large part of Calabar Zone, as well as portions of Mimaropa,
04:09it is possible that there will be localized thunderstorms.
04:14So, these are the sudden or sudden rains that we are more likely to experience in the afternoon and evening.
04:20This is just a monitoring of the thunderstorm advisory issued by our Regional Services Division.
04:26For the temperature forecast for the surrounding cities in Luzon,
04:32in Tuguegarao, the average temperature will range from 24 to 33 degrees Celsius.
04:41Maximum temperatures are expected today in Lawag.
04:44And for Aguat, the temperature in Baguio will range from 17 to 25 degrees Celsius.
04:50In Metro Manila, the maximum temperatures are expected to reach 31 degrees Celsius.
04:55For Tagaytay, it will range from 22 to 29 degrees Celsius.
04:59And 32 degrees Celsius is the maximum temperature today in Legazpi.
05:06So, there will be a change in the time in the areas of our country.
05:10As we mentioned earlier, the Intertropical Convergence Zone, its axis, shifted downwards.
05:16So, it is only here in the southern part of Mindanao that the ITCZ is affected.
05:22So, it is still possible that there will be scattered floods, landslides and landslides.
05:26So, there are parts of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.
05:29And there is a high possibility of isolated or sudden rainfall in the southern portions of Mindanao.
05:38And for the rest of Palawan, Visayas, especially in the Mindanao area,
05:42the weather will be clear today.
05:44So, it is hot, especially in the afternoon.
05:47And there are only possibilities of isolated thunderstorms when it comes, or more often in the afternoon or at night.
05:54Temperature forecast for the neighboring cities here in Palawan and Visayas,
05:59the maximum temperatures in Kalayaan Islands will reach 31 degrees Celsius.
06:03And 32 degrees Celsius for Puerto Princesa.
06:08For Ilo-Ilo, our maximum temperatures will reach 31 degrees Celsius,
06:1326 to 30 degrees Celsius is the expected temperature today here in Cebu.
06:19And the maximum temperatures for Tacloban will reach 32 degrees Celsius.
06:25For the temperatures in neighboring cities here in Mindanao,
06:29for Zamboanga, the maximum temperatures will reach 32 degrees Celsius.
06:33For Cagayan de Oro, it is 25 to 30 degrees Celsius.
06:36And for Metro Davao, the expected temperature will be 26 to 31 degrees Celsius.
06:43As for the situation of our seas, we still do not have a gale warning in any coastal areas of our country.
06:51However, we are still being careful with the plans to expand to the coastal areas of the Northern Luzon
06:56because it is still possible for storms to reach the sea.
