00:00Happy Friday to all of us, I am Benison Estareja.
00:05The effects of the three weather systems in our country are still continuing.
00:08Here in the Northern and Central Luzon, there is still the Northeast Monsoon or the cold wind.
00:13Here in Visayas and Mindanao, there is still the effect of the Easter Leaves or the hot wind from the east.
00:19And the shear line or the line where the wind is blowing and the Easter Leaves,
00:24it is affecting a large part of the Southern Luzon.
00:27So there are still areas that are raining right now.
00:29Meanwhile, based on our latest satellite animation,
00:32we do not see any storm or low-pressure areas around our PAR
00:36and it will also affect our country in the coming days.
00:41In Luzon, there is still the highest chance of rain in the eastern part of the Southern Luzon
00:46because of the shear line or the line of hot and cold wind.
00:49Bicol Region, as well as the province of Quezon, Marinduque, as well as Oriental Mindolo
00:55and the nearby areas here in Rizal and Laguna,
00:57where the weather is gloomy, there are light to moderate with at times heavy rains
01:01even though be careful of the flood and landslides.
01:05Here in the Northern and Central Luzon, the light to moderate rains are in Cagayan Valley,
01:10here in almost the entire Cordillera Region, especially in Apayao, Calinga, Mountain Province, and Ifugao,
01:16as well as in the province of Aurora, it is the effect of the Northeast Monsoon.
01:20Meanwhile, here in the remaining part of Luzon, Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet,
01:25rest of Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, and Metro Manila,
01:29partly cloudy to cloudy skies, and it will also be accompanied by dry and light rains.
01:35For Metro Manila, the chance of rain is still low and sometimes it gets dark,
01:40temperatures from 23 to 31 degrees Celsius,
01:43while it will remain a bit cold here in the Northern and Central Luzon.
01:47For Baguio City, between 14 to 15 degrees Celsius is the minimum temperature,
01:51while in Tuguegarao, the lowest is 21 degrees Celsius.
01:56For our fellowmen in Palawan and almost the entire Visayas,
01:59expect fair weather conditions, sometimes partly cloudy or sunny skies,
02:04and there are only times when the skies are cloudy, accompanied by dry and light rains,
02:09or landslides and landslides along the east release.
02:12While it will rain, our fellowmen in Eastern Visayas,
02:16especially those in the eastern market, should be careful of landslides and landslides,
02:20and still avoid bringing umbrellas as a result of the east release.
02:24Our temperature in Metro Cebu is 26 to 31 degrees Celsius.
02:29And for our fellowmen in Mindanao, it will remain partly cloudy and mostly sunny,
02:33from this morning until the afternoon,
02:35and it will still be rainy because of the east release in Sorigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands,
02:40so bring umbrellas there.
02:42There are places where there will be isolated rains or thunderstorms by afternoon,
02:46and there are other places in Mindanao where it won't rain for today.
02:51And because of the east release, it will be hot in many places in Mindanao,
02:55for example, Angga City, Cotabato City, Jensan, and Davao City, up to 33 degrees Celsius.
03:03As of now, because of the northeast monsoon,
03:05we still have gale warning in several towns in the northern zone.
03:09These include Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Ilocos Norte, and part of Ilocos Sur,
03:15where up to 4.5 meters, or one and a half floors of houses,
03:20are high in the waves that can be experienced there.
03:23Small sea vessels, especially fishermen, are prohibited to sail there.
03:27For the rest of Luzon, the waves are up to 2 to 3 meters high,
03:31while Banayad is up to exactly 0.5 to 1 meter high over Visayas and Bindanao.
03:37It is also possible to remove our gale warning by tomorrow here in the northern Luzon,
03:41and it will still remain a bit unstable for the next few days.
03:46And for our today weather forecast,
03:48from Saturday to Monday,
03:50the chances of rain are still high in the eastern section of Luzon,
03:55which is part of the effect of the shear line,
03:58while our northeast monsoon is still confined here in the northern and central Luzon.
04:03Because of the shear line, the chances of rain in Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, and Quezon Province are still high,
04:09so make sure to bring an umbrella,
04:11and be careful of flash floods or landslides.
04:15Meanwhile, starting from Sunday, the chances of rain are expected to be high
04:19here in a large part of Mindanao.
04:21It is the effect of the ITCZ, or Intertropical Convergence Zone,
04:25which is a convergence of wind from the northern and southern hemispheres.
04:29Sunday and Monday, the chances of rain are high in the Caraga Region, Davao Region,
04:34Soxabgen, and nearby areas in Mindanao.
04:37So, be careful of floods and always keep up with our updates and advisories.
04:42Meanwhile, here in the northern and central Luzon,
04:45it is still affected by the northeast monsoon, or Hanging Amihan.
04:48It is still a bit cold, and there will still be mild to moderate rains,
04:53especially in the areas of Cordillera Region and the rest of Cagayan Valley.
04:57While the rest of the country is still hoping for a rainy season,
05:01fair weather conditions in many places,
05:03including our fellow countrymen who are celebrating festivals here in Ati-Atihan,
05:07in Mayaklan, and in Sinulog Festival here in Cebu,
05:11there are only chances of floods or landslides.
