00:00Good morning to all of us, this is an update on the GAMI typhoon that we are monitoring,

00:04which is the former Typhoon Carina.

00:06We last saw it at a distance of 515 kilometers north-northwest of Itbayat, Batanes.

00:15And if we can see from our satellite imagery,

00:18it came out of our area of responsibility earlier this morning at 6.20 a.m.

00:23The wind speed of the former Typhoon Carina

00:27was still around 140 kilometers per hour,

00:30almost in the middle,

00:31and the impact reached 215 kilometers per hour.

00:36The movement was northwestward at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.

00:40And we can clearly see from our satellite imagery

00:43that the former Typhoon Carina is continuously enhancing

00:47this southwest monsoon

00:50that it will continue to rain heavily in a large part of Luzon,

00:54particularly here in the western section of Luzon.

00:59Here is the latest track of the Typhoon Carina.

01:03We can see this yellow circle,

01:06these are the areas where it is still possible to experience a gust of wind

01:09brought by the Typhoon Carina.

01:12And we can see that it still covers the Batanes Islands,

01:16so we still have high warning signals in that area.

01:20And based on our latest track of the Typhoon Carina,

01:25it is still possible for it to have an interaction here in the mountainous areas

01:31in the southern part of China or here in the Taiwan area.

01:36So we expect that while it has an interaction in the landmass there

01:41or in the mountainous areas, it will continue to weaken.

01:44And in the coming days, it is possible that it will only reach the storm category

01:49and eventually it will become a depression or a low-pressure area in the coming days.

01:55And as I mentioned, because the circulation of the Typhoon Carina is still wide,

02:01that is why our Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 is still high here in the Batanes area.

02:07We still expect the gust of wind in the mentioned area

02:10brought by the Typhoon Carina.

02:14And at the moment, our National Capital Region, PRSD, is still high in orange.

02:22These are the areas that have experienced intense rains,

02:26particularly Zambales and Bataan.

02:29Meanwhile, it is possible for heavy rains in Pampanga and Tarlac for the next three hours.

02:35These areas are being monitored because the rains that we expect for the next three hours

02:43are still possible for floods and landslides.

02:49Our other PRSDs, especially our NLPRSD,

02:53are also issuing heavy rainfall warnings in their concerned areas.

02:58So we can visit this.

03:00We can visit this information on our social media accounts,

03:05on DOSC underscore Pag-asa.

03:06And we are also posting this on our website.

03:10What are we expecting from this enhanced southwest monsoon,

03:15or this typhoon that brought by the Typhoon Carina?

03:20It is still possible for 100 to 200 mm of rainfall or heavy to intense rains

03:27in the Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Zambales, and Bataan.

03:32Meanwhile, here in Metro Manila,

03:34Pampanga, Cavite, Batanes, Baboyan Islands, and Occidental Mindoro,

03:39it is still possible for moderate to heavy rainfall.

03:44That is why we are still warning our countrymen in the areas I mentioned

03:48because it is still possible for floods and landslides

03:52for the rains that we expect for today.

03:55Meanwhile, tomorrow, we expect for less areas

04:00for moderate to heavy rainfall.

04:03This is only for Zambales, Bataan, Pangasinan, and Benguet.

04:08Meanwhile, by Saturday, Zambales, Bataan, and Pangasinan

04:12will continue to experience moderate to heavy rainfall

04:17brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon.

04:20Because of the rainfall that we experienced in the past few days,

04:25even if the rainfall is moderate to heavy,

04:28now it is possible for floods to occur

04:32in some areas, especially here in NCR and in the provinces.

04:36That is why we are warning our countrymen

04:40because if it rains heavily,

04:41there is a high chance for floods and landslides.

04:48When it comes to strong winds,

04:51we still expect that this southwest monsoon

04:55will bring strong to gale force winds.

04:57Now, until tomorrow, in Batanes, Baboyan Islands,

05:02Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region,

05:05Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino,

05:07the eastern portion of Isabela,

05:09as well as Central Luzon, Metro Manila,

05:13Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region,

05:16Western Visayas, Negros Occidental, and Northern Samar.

05:20Meanwhile, by Saturday,

05:22the areas that experienced strong winds

05:27brought by the gale force winds will decrease.

05:29Because we expect that the gale force winds

05:32will weaken.

05:35So, by Saturday, this area of Batanes, Ilocos Region,

05:39Zambales, Bataan, Marinduque, Romblon,

05:43and Calayaan Islands,

05:45we expect to experience strong gale force winds

05:50brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon.

05:53When it comes to the condition of our ocean,

05:56we are warning our countrymen

05:59to stay away from areas with gale warning.

06:05In particular, the areas of Batanes,

06:07Northern Coast of Cagayan,

06:09along with the Baboyan Islands,

06:11Ilocos Norte, and Ilocos Sur.

06:13As for the mentioned areas,

06:15the red areas are the areas

06:17where we do not allow our fishermen,

06:21especially those with small boats,

06:24because we expect the waves to be rough

06:28and to reach up to 4.5 meters.

06:34However, we also remind our fishermen

06:38to stay away from the western seaboards of our country,

06:41especially the western seaboards of Luzon

06:43and the eastern seaboards of our country

06:46because moderate to rough sea conditions are still possible.

06:50So, we remind our fishermen

06:52to stay away from areas with gale force winds

06:55brought by the enhanced southwest monsoon.
