06:07 Okay, now until tomorrow afternoon, we are still expecting moderate to heavy rains due to the Egyptian typhoon.
06:17 And the places that will be affected are Cagayan, Cataduanes, Camarines Sur, Camarines Norte, Albay and Sorsogon.
06:26 Tomorrow afternoon until Wednesday afternoon, we are expecting stronger rains in Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Apayaw, Abra and the Northern portion of La Union.

07:04 And this is the end of the Southwest Monsoon where it will still be mild to moderate to sometimes heavy rains in the Western portion of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon and the Western portion of Visayas.
07:23 So almost the whole country will experience heavy rains.
07:30 Because of the mentioned places, we should still be careful and alert because it is possible for floods or landslides to occur especially in lower areas and near rivers.
07:51 And in areas below signal number 2, there will be minor to moderate impacts due to the gale force wind.
08:00 And in areas below wind signal number 1, there will be minimal to minor impacts due to strong winds.
08:10 There is still a possibility that we will experience signal number 4 or number 5.
08:20 Because of the Southwest Monsoon, there will be strong winds.
08:27 Now, because of the Southwest Monsoon, there will be sometimes strong winds in the western part of Visayas and also the western part of Mimaropa
08:39 including the northern portion of Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao and Caraga.
08:45 Tomorrow, there will be heavy rains in the western part of Luzon and Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and the northern portion of Northern Mindanao and Dinagat Islands.

09:07 And regarding the storm surge, we are expecting a 3-meter storm surge with minimal to moderate risk.
09:21 Because of this, there will be flooding in low-lying areas and exposed coastal areas.
09:31 These areas include Batanes, Cagayan, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur and Isabela.
09:38 And this is the gale warning.
09:44 Today, almost Luzon and the whole Visayas are under gale warning.
09:54 So, automatically, our countrymen are not allowed to go out because the high tide is up to 6 meters.
10:03 But the other coastal areas that are not under gale warning will be flooded until the ocean is flooded.
10:17 So, we still need to be careful of the coastal areas that are not under gale warning.
10:24 So, that is our update.
