00:00 Several places in the country are under the signal number 1 due to the storm Aghon, the first storm in the bar this year.
00:08 We will now hear an update from Pag-asa weather specialist Benny Esterea. Good afternoon sir Benny.
00:14 Good afternoon Ms. Naomi and to our viewers.
00:20 As of 10 in the morning, this is the last sighting of the storm Aghon, 240 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.
00:28 Maximum sustained winds are 45 km/h near the center and gustiness up to 55 km/h.
00:35 It moves slowly west and northwest at a speed of 10 km/h.
00:40 It is heading towards the direction of Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region and part of the Caraga Region.
00:45 Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal Number 1 is now high.
00:49 Here in Sosogon, several parts of Alpay, Catanduanes and several parts of Camarines Sur.
00:56 Signal Number 1 is also in Eastern Samar, Samar, Northern Samar, Silangang Bahagi ng Leyte, Southern Leyte, Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Sargao and Bukas, Grande Islands and Surigao del Sur.
01:11 In the places we mentioned, they will experience strong winds and will also experience heavy rains.
01:18 Meanwhile, the strongest winds will be in Eastern Samar, Southern Leyte, Surigao del Norte and Dinagat Islands for the next 24 hours.
01:28 We also have up to 100 mm of rain, 50 to 100 mm over Surigao del Sur, Eastern Visayas, Alpay, Sosogon, Masbate, Catanduanes and Eastern portion of Camarines Sur until tomorrow afternoon.
01:42 So, a reminder to our countrymen, in the mentioned areas, be careful of the impacts of the wind and rain, especially in low-lying areas.
01:53 And coordinate with our local disaster, bridge reduction and management officers if they need help, especially in the rescue.
02:01 Our next update regarding Tropical Depression Agon will be later at 2 p.m.
02:06 That's all for the latest from the Weather Forecasting Center of Pagasa, Benny S. Tareja. Good afternoon.
02:11 Sir Benny, this Tropical Depression Agon, is it expected to be stronger, especially the heat from a storm?
02:19 Is there a weather system that can be the reason for it to move away from the land?
02:23 So far, this Tropical Depression Agon is in the hot part of our ocean, in the Philippine Sea.
02:31 So, there's a chance that it will be stronger. By tomorrow, it's possible that it will be a tropical storm.
02:36 And then, by Sunday, it could be a severe tropical storm. And by Tuesday, it could be a typhoon.
02:43 But this time, it will be a typhoon that will move the country away.
02:47 And you mentioned that this Tropical Depression Agon is expected to recur.
02:51 Will the next typhoons have a high possibility of hitting the land?
02:57 This Tropical Depression Agon, there's a chance that it will really stick and landfall here in the Samar Provinces and in Cabiculan.
03:05 And the succeeding typhoons, especially in June, the chance of landfall increases,
03:13 especially here in the Bicol Region and in Eastern Visayas.
03:17 And this rain that the Tropical Depression Agon is expected to bring,
03:21 will it help to raise the water level of our dams?
03:25 The rain that we see, that we experience here in our dams, such as Bulacan and Nueva Ecija,
03:34 they will experience scattered rain.
03:36 So, it means that there won't be that much rain, light to moderate rains over the weekend.
03:40 So, it could increase later, at the middle of next week, but it still won't be enough.
03:47 We still need, actually based on the statement of our flood forecasting section,
03:55 that there's almost 1,000 mm of rain, and we can't achieve that with 50 mm only.
04:01 And it's only a few days and it's already June.
04:04 For the next few months, how many typhoons are we expecting to bring?
04:08 For June, same as May, one or two.
04:11 And this is the question of our fellow countrymen,
04:14 when do you expect the rainy season to start?
04:19 It's almost there, but we expect it to be in the first or second week of June.
04:26 Knowing that we won't be able to achieve the wind from the West Philippine Sea,
04:32 because the wind from the Philippine Sea is still coming.
04:34 But the rain, the wind is already there in terms of rain.
04:38 And what is your message to the public?
04:41 Always stay tuned to our updates for our fellow countrymen.
04:46 And what we are emphasizing right now is not the center, where the center of the storm will pass,
04:52 but the area. Make sure that those who are living in the central and western Visayas,
04:58 those in Northern Mindanao, in Davao region, should be alert.
05:02 And for the next few days, the area of Mimaropa, Calabarzon, Central Luzon, and Cagayan Valley,
05:08 they will also experience rain due to the outer cloud bands or the outer part of the storm.
05:14 And thank you very much for your time, weather specialist Benny Estere.
05:19 I'm Jenny Estere.
