00:00In the middle of July, a new low-pressure area is being monitored inside the Philippine Air Responsibility.
00:07We asked for an update from Mr. Benison Estareja, weather specialist from Pagasa.
00:11Good morning, Mr. Benison.
00:15Good morning, Sir Andjo. Good morning to our viewers as well.
00:17Where is the low-pressure area that we are monitoring?
00:22As of now, the low-pressure area that we are monitoring is still getting closer to our land.
00:26It is 310 kilometers northeast of Davao City.
00:31This is our second question.
00:32Is it high to have a typhoon in this low-pressure area?
00:36And if there is a typhoon, in what category will it reach?
00:42According to our latest satellite animation,
00:44the chance of a typhoon or tropical depression for today is still low.
00:49However, it is still possible that in the coming days,
00:52given our warm sea surface temperature, low vertical wind shear,
00:56and other criteria that we are looking at,
00:58the chance of a tropical depression is still there.
01:01This is the so-called bad weather because it is getting closer to our land.
01:05Mr. Benison, if there is a typhoon in this low-pressure area,
01:09in what category will it reach and what will we name this typhoon?
01:14If there is a typhoon, this will be the second typhoon
01:17and the first for this month of July and will be named Bukchoy.
01:22Can we already see a possible track of this typhoon?
01:25And what is the possible place that it will hit?
01:28This low-pressure area for now,
01:31if ever there is a typhoon for today,
01:34it will be in the vicinity of the Eastern Visayas and Caraga region.
01:38Then by tomorrow, it will possibly rise by a portion
01:40because it is moving northwest towards the Eastern Visayas.
01:44By Thursday, it is possible that it will be close to the areas of the Bicol region,
01:48here in the part of Mimaropa.
01:50And we do not lose the chance that by Friday,
01:53it will also pass through the areas of Calabar Zone,
01:56parts of Central Zone and Metro Manila.
01:58It could be a low-pressure area or it could be a tropical depression.
02:02Will this low-pressure area be stronger?
02:04This typhoon that we are experiencing now?
02:08Yes, today is July, so it means that the typhoon is really strong.
02:12So whatever weather disturbance,
02:14especially the strong typhoons,
02:16the typhoon will enhance.
02:18And in this case, even if this is just a low-pressure area
02:20or it becomes a tropical depression,
02:22the typhoon will still enhance,
02:24especially here in the areas that are not directly affected,
02:27such as Palawan, Western Visayas,
02:29Western and Southern portions of Mindanao.
02:31Thank you, Sir Benison.
02:33How is our monitoring for La Nina?
02:37For now, Sir Anjo, we are on the alert for La Nina.
02:40So it means that the chance that we will have La Nina
02:44could be September or October for this year.
02:47But the effect of this is, first of all,
02:50we expect that this will be a weak La Nina
02:53in the first few months.
02:54And this could last until the first quarter of next year.
02:58The effect of this is that we will not feel it right away.
03:01The higher than normal that we will experience
03:05could be towards the end of the year.
03:07For example, December, January, February,
03:09the more than normal,
03:12especially in the areas on the eastern side of the country.
03:15Good morning.
03:16Thank you, Sir Benison Estarea,
03:18weather specialist from Pagasa.
