00:00So we can see in the latest satellite image animation that the cyclone Carina is continuously moving in this part of the Philippine Sea.
00:09And just this morning, it was 320 kilometers away from the Basco Batanes.
00:15The center of the cyclone Carina is still far from our country's land.
00:18But let's notice that its thick cloud is hitting several parts of the Northern Luzon area.
00:25For a long time, Carina has a strong wind of up to 140 kilometers per hour,
00:30which is close to the center of the cyclone.
00:31The wind speed is up to 170 kilometers per hour.
00:35Now, the cyclone Carina is moving eastward at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour.
00:40Because of this, we have a Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2
00:46here in a part of Batanes, in Itbayat, Basco, Mahatau, Uyugan, and Iwana.
00:52When we say Warning Signal No. 2,
00:55the cyclone will experience harsh weather,
00:57rains that can lead to floods, especially in low-lying areas,
01:01and landslides in areas near the foot of the mountain.
01:05The oceans around the area that have a Warning Signal No. 2,
01:08we also expect to be flooded to the point of extreme flooding.
01:12Meanwhile, the areas highlighted in light blue,
01:16this is the area where we have Tropical Cyclone Wind Signals.
01:20In the remaining part of Batanes, Bukagayan, along with Babuyan Island,
01:25in the eastern portion of Isabela,
01:27here in the northern portion of Apayau,
01:29Warning Signal No. 1 also in the northern portion of Ilocos Norte,
01:33northern portion of Aurora, here in Bandampulilo Island,
01:36Calaguas, here in the northern portion of Catanduanes.
01:40The areas that have a Warning Signal No. 1,
01:42will continue to experience rains, and sometimes winds.
01:48So, what do we expect?
01:49Let's minimize the effects of Tropical Cyclone Wind in some parts of our country.
01:53Let's start with the rainfall.
01:56Today until tomorrow afternoon,
01:58we expect heavy to intense rains in Batanes,
02:03Babuyan Island, northern and eastern portions of mainland Cagayan and Ilocos Sur.
02:09Meanwhile, moderate to heavy, Ilocos Norte, La Union, Abra, Benguet, Apayau,
02:15eastern portion of Isabela, and the remaining part of Cagayan.
02:18So, let's notice the heavy rainfall brought by Tropical Cyclone Carina,
02:22mostly confined to the provinces in the northern Luzon area.
02:26Meanwhile, tomorrow until Thursday afternoon,
02:30heavy to intense rains in Batanes,
02:33moderate to heavy rains in Babuyan Island.
02:36And on Thursday afternoon until Friday afternoon,
02:40moderate to heavy rains in Batanes.
02:43Because we expect that by Thursday,
02:46our air responsibility will be released.
02:50What do we expect from the effects of the winds brought by Tropical Cyclone Carina?
02:54As I mentioned earlier,
02:55the area with the warning signal number 2 will experience more severe weather.
02:58Strong winds that can destroy several houses,
03:02knock down several types of plants,
03:05power poles,
03:07some materials that can cause landslides,
03:12or landslides can occur if they hit us.
03:16So, as much as possible,
03:17let's all stay indoors in areas with the warning signal number 2.
03:22In terms of strong winds, moderate to strong winds,
03:25in areas with the warning signal number 1,
03:27we expect that the strength of the wind here can be minimal to minor impact only.
03:31But even so,
03:33all our countrymen in areas with the warning signal number 2 and 1,
03:37as much as possible,
03:38stay indoors,
03:40continue to listen to the update of the weather forecast regarding Tropical Cyclone Carina,
03:43and continue to consult with their local government
03:46and local disaster reduction managers
03:49for continuous disaster preparedness and mitigation measures.
03:54What do we expect from the effects of coastal waters due to Tropical Cyclone Carina?
03:58But we will also include the effects of Tropical Cyclone Carina and Habagat
04:05in different parts of our country.
04:08For now, we have raised the gale warning
04:10here in the waters around Batanes and Babuyan Island.
04:13This is automatic if there is a gale warning.
04:15As much as possible,
04:17do not travel by sea vehicle in areas with gale warning.
04:21Meanwhile, we expect moderate to strong winds
04:26here in the northern and eastern seaboards of Northern Luzon
04:29and in areas without gale warning.
04:34Here in the eastern seaboard of Central and Southern Luzon
04:37and in the western seaboard of Central and Southern Luzon.
04:40So basically, the remaining part of Northern Luzon
04:43and the waters around Central and Southern Luzon
04:48will be moderate to strong winds.
04:52As for moderate to strong winds in the southern seaboards of Southern Luzon,
04:57western and eastern seaboards of Visayas,
04:59and eastern seaboard of Mindanao.
05:01So basically, the waves of the seas are concentrated in the Luzon area.
05:05But our countrymen still have to be careful
05:07that the waves will cross parts of the seas here in Visayas
05:11because we expect it to be moderate to strong winds.
05:14And sometimes, there are waves here.
05:17So we mentioned earlier the effect of rain and strong winds.
05:21In terms of waves, what do we expect?
05:25Within 24 hours, from this current location,
05:29we expect that tomorrow, it will be almost at the northern boundary
05:33of our air responsibility,
05:35at an area of 345 kilometers north-northeast of Itbayat, Batanes.
05:41We will see on the forecast track on Wednesday,
05:44that on Thursday, it will be almost at the northernmost boundary of our air responsibility,
05:48at an area of 460 kilometers north-northeast of Itbayat, Batanes.
05:53But let's look at what we expect when the waves move in this direction.
05:58At this particular time of the year,
06:00the movement of the waves in this direction
06:03is very favorable for the continuous enhancement of the sea.
06:07Later, we will mention the rain that falls from the sea.
06:11On Friday morning,
06:13we expect that our air responsibility will be outside,
06:16at an area of 730 kilometers north-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes.
06:22And on Saturday morning,
06:24we expect that it will only be tropical depression,
06:28at an area of 1,915 kilometers north-northwest of extreme northern Luzon.
06:33That's where the movement of the waves will be.
06:35We will also see that until our air responsibility is not outside,
06:39it will still be a possible typhoon category.
06:42That's why we continue to expect that the waves will be different,
06:45and that the waves will continue to remain,
06:47especially in the northern Luzon area,
06:50in the next 24 to 48 hours.
06:55Now, earlier, we saw this.
06:56This is the Bagyong Sea Carina.
06:58We can see that this is a wide valley,
07:00and the waves are hitting several parts of the Luzon area, northern Luzon.
07:04We can also see here,
07:06that the Habagat, or southwest monsoon, is continuously changing.
07:09It is causing thick clouds and rains
07:13in the remaining parts of northern Luzon, central Luzon, southern Luzon,
07:16and even in some parts of the Visayas area.
07:20What do we expect from the rain brought by Habagat?
07:24Earlier, we mentioned the rains brought by the Bagyong Sea Carina,
07:27usually in the provinces of the northern Luzon area.
07:30The rain brought by Habagat,
07:33we will see tomorrow, heavy to intense,
07:35or today, heavy to intense rains here in Metro Manila.
07:40The same goes for Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet,
07:43Sambales, Bataan, Pampanga, Bulacan,
07:46Rizal, Cavite, Batangas, and Occidental Mindoro.
07:49The moderate to heavy rains in the remaining parts of Cordillera Administrative Region,
07:53Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Ecija,
07:55Tarlac, Laguna, Quezon, Occidental Mindoro,
07:58Marinduque, Romblon, Aclan, Antique,
08:01as well as in the northern portion of Palawan,
08:04along with Calamian Cuyo and Calayaan Island.
08:07So, let's notice, the rain brought by Habagat,
08:10usually concentrated in the western sections of Luzon and the Visayas.
08:16Because we saw earlier,
08:18the flood of Habagat first hit the western sections of our country.
08:24Tomorrow, we expect heavy to intense rains in Ilocos Region,
08:28Abra, Benguet, Sambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro.
08:31Because of the torrential rain,
08:34Habagat will continue to be affected.
08:36Moderate to heavy rains tomorrow in Metro Manila,
08:39in the remaining parts of Cordillera Administrative Region,
08:41Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Bulacan,
08:44Rizal, Cavite, Batangas, Oriental Mindoro, and Calamian Island.
08:49And on Wednesday,
08:51moderate to heavy rains in Batanes, Babuyan Island,
08:54Ilocos Region, Apayao, Abra, Benguet, Sambales, Bataan, and Occidental Mindoro.
08:59So, in the areas that I mentioned earlier,
09:01there was a warning signal,
09:02there was a torrential rain in Baguio-Sicarina,
09:05and in the areas that we are currently in,
09:08there is a torrential rain in Habagat,
09:10and in the next 2 to 3 days,
09:12we will continue to give warnings.
09:15Our countrymen should be alert in the mentioned areas.
09:18In the possible floods,
09:20especially in the low-lying areas,
09:23near the rivers or waterways,
09:26because the amount of water in your waterways may increase.
09:32The landslides in areas near the mountains,
09:35because if it rains in your area for a few days,
09:38it is possible that the land will be soft
09:41and landslides will occur.
09:46Meanwhile,
09:47we will notice that occasionally,
09:48there is a downpour of wind here in Metro Manila
09:51and in some parts of the Central and Southern Zones
09:54because of the downpour.
09:55Today,
09:56there is a possible downpour of wind
09:58in areas that do not have a warning signal,
10:00Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Nueva Vizcaya,
10:03Quirino, Zambales, Bataan, Aurora, Metro Manila,
10:06Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Visayas,
10:09Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, and Davao Region
10:12because of the downpour.
10:14Tomorrow, there will still be downpours in some areas,
10:17including Metro Manila.
10:19And in most areas,
10:22especially in the western section of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
10:26And until Thursday,
10:28there will still be downpours of wind
10:30that will reach Habagat.
10:32Now,
10:33the combined effect of Karina
10:35and Habagat,
10:36as we mentioned earlier,
10:38it is possible that it will reach
10:40up to the sea
10:42in most parts of Luzon and Visayas
10:45in the next few days,
10:46but the initial warning of gale warning
10:50is twice a day,
10:51at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m.
