00:00The Northeast Monsoon continues to affect a large part of the Northern Luzon.

00:09It will bring cloudy skies with thunderstorms and rain.

00:14Below the cold air is the shear line.

00:17It will bring cloudy skies with thunderstorms and rain,

00:24or lightning and thunderstorms,

00:26Aurora and Quezon.

00:28On the other side, Easter Leaves are affected,

00:32especially in a large part of Visayas and Mindanao.

00:36In the western part, starting from Palawan,

00:39we can see cloud clusters.

00:42It will bring cloudy skies with thunderstorms.

00:46In the western part, including Metro Manila,

00:49it will bring cloudy skies,

00:51partly cloudy skies,

00:56and clear skies with chances of thunderstorms.

01:02Although the chances of thunderstorms in Metro Manila are low,

01:05on the other side, thunderstorms are still a possibility.

01:11We do not monitor any typhoons in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

01:16We expect this to continue until next week.

01:19For our forecast for tomorrow,

01:21the effect of the cold air or the Northeast Monsoon will continue,

01:25but it will also dissipate.

01:27After it dissipates, there is still a chance

01:30that we will have a Monsoon Surge again,

01:33or Northeast Monsoon,

01:34where there is still a possibility of a final storm.

01:39Because it is a shear line,

01:41the eastern part of Luzon will continue to experience

01:44cloudy skies with rain and thunderstorms.

01:49In the western part, including Metro Manila,

01:53it will bring clear skies,

01:55but there is still a possibility of rain and thunderstorms.

01:59The average temperature in Metro Manila is from 24 to 34,

02:03in Baguio, it is 17 to 27,

02:06in Lawag, it is 23 to 32,

02:08in Tuguegarao, it is 24 to 31,

02:11and in Legazpi, it is 25 to 30.

02:15For Visayas,

02:17actually, this is in Mimaropa,

02:21but let's start with Palawan.

02:24Because of the cloud cluster we mentioned earlier,

02:27it is possible to experience continuous rain

02:30here in Puerto Princesa and Kalayaan Island,

02:33and there are chances of thunderstorms.

02:35The average temperature in Puerto Princesa is from 26 to 30,

02:39and in Kalayaan Island, it is 26 to 32.

02:43Continuous clear skies with chances of thunderstorms

02:48here in a large part of Visayas and Mindanao.

02:51But in Cagayan de Oro,

02:55we will continue to experience cloudy skies

02:59with chances of thunderstorms.

03:01This can also be affected by what we call

03:05Orographic Lifting.

03:06What is Orographic Lifting?

03:08Because there are mountains here,

03:10what we call Dewata Mountains,

03:12for example, there is a mountain,

03:14and the easterlies will go there,

03:16it will go to the windward side,

03:19and for example, before the wind goes here,

03:22the clouds brought there will rain here

03:25because they cannot easily pass through the mountain.

03:27But the clouds that can pass through there

03:30will no longer bring rain.

03:32And that is what we call Orographic Lifting

03:35or Foehn Effect.

03:37And that is what happens when there are mountains.

03:40And this can also be a reason

03:43or one of the contributing factors

03:46that is why we are expecting

03:48rains here in the Caraga region.

03:52The temperature in Davao is 24 to 31,

03:55in Cagayan de Oro, it is 24 to 32.

03:58And for our Gale Warning,

04:03we are advising our fellow Filipinos

04:06to be careful, especially here in the northern part of Luzon.

04:10Specifically in Batanes, Baboyan Island,

04:12Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur.

04:14Our winds can reach 4.5 meters.

04:18That is why we should be careful,

04:20especially those with small vehicles

04:22and fishermen,

04:24we should be careful.

04:27For our three-day weather outlook,

04:40due to the influence of the northeast monsoon,

04:42we are expecting clear skies

04:45and rain and thunderstorms on Sundays.

04:48But on Mondays and Tuesdays in Baguio,

04:50we are expecting occurrence

04:52or chances of thunderstorms.

04:54In Legazpi City,

04:56we are expecting continuous

04:58clouds and thunderstorm activity there.

05:02That is why we should be careful,

05:04especially in flood-prone areas

05:06and landslide-prone areas.

05:08In Metro Cebu

05:10and Iloilo City,

05:12we are expecting continuous

05:14clear skies

05:16and chances of thunderstorms

05:18or rain,

05:20especially in the afternoon.

05:26that we will experience

05:28bad weather.

05:30In Cluban City,

05:32we are expecting clear skies

05:34on Sundays.

05:36But on Mondays and Tuesdays,

05:38we are expecting

05:40a lower shear line

05:42that will bring

05:44clouds and thunderstorms.

05:46In Metro Davao,

05:48we are expecting

05:50clear skies

05:52and chances of thunderstorms

05:54on Sundays.
