00:18 Good morning to all of our viewers.
00:23 What does it mean by dangerous level of heat index or heat? And what is important for the public to know when the heat index is like this?
00:32 The danger we are talking about, the possible feeling of heat index, we will put it in the value of temperature around 42 to 51 degrees Celsius.
00:45 This means we might experience heat cramps and heat exhaustion. This is like we are in a hot pot because of the heat we are feeling.
00:53 And possibly the so-called heat stroke, this is the extreme heat that sometimes becomes a reason for people to feel weak.
01:00 This is when we feel that it is too hot and because of that we get hot.
01:06 And that is what we can still experience, especially this month of April, where we are expecting that the heat we are feeling will be even more intense in a large part of our country.
01:15 Are there places where we can expect to experience a dangerous level of heat index today?
01:22 And if there is, what is the place and how hot can our fellow citizens experience?
01:28 So for example, based on our research, there are some parts around Cagayan, Apari, Bicol, Camarinesur, Northern Samar and Zamboanga City.
01:45 These are the places I mentioned. Possibly, we can experience more than 40 degrees Celsius. This is not the actual heat index, but this is the heat index.
01:53 This is the heat we feel in the places we mentioned. This is like the actual temperature and the moisture that our air has.
02:05 Sir Obert, what weather system is affecting our country now?
02:11 There are two weather systems that are affecting our country. First is the reach of high pressure areas.
02:16 By definition, reach is the extension or elongated part. When we say high pressure, this is the opposite of low pressure where we let the air out because there is no cloud.
02:28 The area we are in now, I mentioned earlier the area of Apari, it is a bit hot because the area where the reach of high pressure area is now, there is a small chance of rain and it is really clear to experience.
02:41 This is the area of Cagayan Valley, which is a part of the Cordillera.
02:46 In our country, we will experience the fall of Easter, possibly the isolated or full of rain, especially in the eastern section of Visayas and Mindanao.
02:58 Towards the end of the week, we can see the possibility of clouds in the eastern section of Mindanao, particularly the area of Davao region.
03:06 Possibly, we can see the possibility of clouds that can bring the clouds that are scattered especially on the day of Wednesday.
03:15 So, that is our expected weather for this day.
03:19 Thank you very much. Sir Obe, in the past few months, we have not seen any storm that has been expected in our PIR.
03:26 But now, in the month of April, are we expected to see any storm in our PIR?
03:31 Our outlook for this month of April is 0 to 1.
03:35 So, it can be none but up to 1, there can be a full storm or it can enter the Philippine Air Responsibility.
03:41 By average, or based on our climatological record, the month of March and April are the months that have the least number of storms that enter the PIR.
03:50 Meanwhile, the usual track or direction of storms during the time of April, it can pass through the area of Visayas outside Palawan or it can curve to the eastern section of Northern Luzon.
04:05 So, those are the usual track of storms. So, not so much here in the area of Mindanao, but possibly in Visayas and Luzon area.
04:12 Sir Obe, we will just update you on our monitoring of El Nino and La Nina. How is it?
04:18 For now, when it comes to our monitoring of El Nino and La Nina,
04:25 we are still in the El Nino status, so we still have a strong El Nino, but we are still in the La Nina watch.
04:35 Because after El Nino, we will go to the La Nina section.
04:40 We expect that towards the next few months, El Nino will be weekend.
04:45 This means that the temperature here in the tropical Pacific, particularly in the central Pacific, will start to drop.
04:54 After the temperature drops, we will go to the La Nina section.
04:58 For now, the probability of La Nina to occur on June, July and August is 62 percent.
05:04 This means that we will go to La Nina. This means that the temperature here in the central Pacific will be cooler.
05:12 Thank you very much. Good morning Obet Badrina, weather specialist of Pagasa.
