00:00 It will still be hot in most of the country,
00:02 it will still be like the Easter Leaves or the wind from the East,
00:05 particularly the Pacific Ocean.
00:07 And this will still bring hot weather and rains
00:10 here in the part of Mindanao.
00:12 Meanwhile, based on our latest satellite animation,
00:15 if they will notice, we have cloud clusters in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,
00:19 but that is not expected to approach our land
00:23 and there will also be no storms in the following days.
00:27 Today, because of the Easter Leaves, the part of the country is still expected to be cloudy
00:30 until the sky is cloudy in a large part of Luzon.
00:33 And in fact, fair weather conditions here in Northern Luzon
00:36 and Western section of Central Luzon.
00:38 When we say fair weather,
00:39 we are not expecting heavy rains and strong winds.
00:42 The chances of rain here in the North are low,
00:45 while here in Quezon, Aurora,
00:47 a large part of Bicol Region, and Mimaropa,
00:50 it is partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
00:51 accompanied by short rains,
00:54 also due to the Easter Leaves.
00:56 The temperature in Metro Manila is still hot,
00:59 between 22 to 32 degrees Celsius,
01:01 while in Baguio, it is between 14 to 26 degrees Celsius.
01:05 But some places in Southern Luzon
01:08 are possible to experience higher temperatures,
01:11 particularly the so-called heat index.
01:13 It is possible to experience more than 38 degrees Celsius
01:15 here in Vera Catanduanes,
01:17 Masbate City,
01:18 Calapan Oriental Mindoro,
01:20 and even here in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
01:22 Meanwhile, our fellow countrymen here in Visayas and Palawan,
01:26 partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
01:28 and as early as morning,
01:29 it is possible to experience heavy rain
01:31 here in the southern portion of Visayas,
01:32 particularly in Bohol and Southern Leyte,
01:35 which are the end of the Easter Leaves.
01:37 There are also isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon,
01:40 especially in Eastern Visayas.
01:42 The temperature here is between 25 to 31 degrees Celsius
01:45 in a large part of the capital.
01:48 But some parts are also possible to experience
01:49 more than 38 degrees Celsius heat index,
01:52 particularly in the cities of Catarman,
01:54 Catbalogan, Borongan,
01:55 and also here in Tacloban and Iloilo City.
01:59 Meanwhile, our fellow countrymen in Mindanao,
02:01 the eastern sections will still experience rain,
02:03 particularly in Caraga and Davao region.
02:06 Our rainfall is light to moderate range,
02:08 it is possible to experience almost all-day rain,
02:09 so be careful of possible flooding and soil erosion.
02:13 Partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
02:14 as you can see,
02:15 in the northern part of Mindanao,
02:17 but as early as the afternoon,
02:19 until the evening,
02:20 there are also rain showers here in Northern Mindanao
02:23 and also in the northern part of Lanao del Sur,
02:25 Catabato, and Maguindanao provinces,
02:29 because of the Easter Leaves.
02:31 The temperature in the southern portion of Mindanao
02:33 is the hottest, up to 33 degrees Celsius,
02:35 the actual temperature,
02:37 but it is also possible to experience
02:39 more than 38 degrees Celsius heat index
02:41 in Cotabate City and Zamboanga City.
02:43 For now, since we don't have a raincoat,
02:46 we will stay in a moderate to rough seas
02:49 here in the extreme northern Luzon,
02:51 while the waves are moderate,
02:52 up to 2.5 meters,
02:54 in places facing the Pacific Ocean.
02:56 The weather forecast is correct
02:58 for the remaining provinces of our country,
03:00 but please take note,
03:01 our Northeast Monsoon will be strong again
03:03 in the next few days until early next week,
03:06 so it will be a bit rough again
03:07 in the northern part of the Luzon
03:09 and the eastern provinces of our country.
03:12 We are repeating our forecast,
03:14 it is possible to return to the extreme northern Luzon by tomorrow.
03:17 Over the weekend,
03:18 the northern and central Luzon
03:19 are also possible to be affected by the forecast,
03:21 and possibly by Monday and Tuesday,
03:23 most of the Luzon will be affected.
03:25 Please take note,
03:26 that our temperatures will not drop immediately
03:29 by early next week,
03:30 but gradually,
03:31 when the sun sets and in the afternoon.
03:33 If here in Metro Manila,
03:34 the weather conditions will be similar to the one in Iral,
03:37 partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
03:39 and there is a chance that the chances of rain will be low,
03:42 if there is, it will be only for a short while and will be weak.
03:44 Here in Baguio City,
03:45 or in most of the northern Luzon,
03:48 the strong winds will start
03:49 when the sun sets on Saturday afternoon
03:51 until early next week.
03:53 Partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
03:54 and there is a chance of weak rain,
03:58 and our temperatures will gradually drop.
04:01 While here in Bicol Region,
04:02 particularly in Legazpi City,
04:04 by tomorrow,
04:05 partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
04:06 it is possible that it will be cloudy
04:07 when Saturday ends
04:09 until Sunday afternoon,
04:11 and we have weak
04:12 and sometimes strong rains.
04:14 So if you will go out,
04:15 please bring an umbrella
04:17 because it is in danger of wind,
04:19 like the Easterlees and the Northeast Luzon.
04:21 For our fellowmen in Visayas,
04:24 we also have rains
04:25 if we will talk about the Eastern Visayas,
04:28 it is over the weekend.
04:29 Here in Tacloban,
04:30 we expect it to be weak
04:31 until the rain stops,
04:33 and sometimes it becomes strong
04:34 when we have thunderstorms.
04:36 So be careful of possible floods
04:38 and landslides,
04:38 and again,
04:39 bring an umbrella.
04:41 While here in the Central and Western portions of Visayas,
04:43 it is partly cloudy to cloudy skies
04:45 for the next three days.
04:47 It is still a bit hot,
04:48 that is the effect of the Easterlees,
04:49 and there is a chance of heavy rains,
04:51 especially here in Aklan and Capiz.
04:55 And for our fellowmen here in Mindanao,
04:57 by tomorrow,
04:58 a large portion of the Eastern sections,
05:00 the Caraga and Davao region,
05:01 will be raining
05:02 because of the Easterlees,
05:04 and it is a bit hot
05:05 for the rest of Mindanao.
05:07 Our heat indices
05:08 are possible to reach
05:10 36 degrees Celsius
05:11 in many areas.
05:12 And for the next three days,
05:13 in Cagayan de Oro City
05:15 and in Buanga City,
05:16 it is likely to be partly cloudy
05:17 to cloudy skies,
05:19 and there is no continuous
05:20 heavy rain.
05:22 Our sunrise is 670 in the morning,
05:25 and sunset is 602 in the evening.
