00:00Good morning to all of us. This is the latest weather update for Tuesday, August 6, 2024.

00:07Let us first know the current situation in a large part of our country.

00:12Let us first look at our latest satellite image.

00:15At the moment, we are being watched by a low-pressure area inside our Philippine Area of Responsibility.

00:21Although, as we can see, it is far from our land and there is no direct effect on any part of our country.

00:28As of 3 a.m., it was last seen 835 kilometers east-northeast of the extreme northern Luzon.

00:35As of now, there is no chance that this will be a typhoon.

00:40But since it is still in the ocean, we are continuously monitoring it.

00:44That is why we will continue to monitor the updates that will be released in the coming days.

00:49As of now, what is affecting our country is that we are seeing the effect of a strong wind or southwest monsoon.

00:56It is also affecting the areas of southern Luzon and Visayas.

01:01As we can see here in the satellite image, there are thick clouds that may cause rain in some areas of southern Luzon and Visayas.

01:12Meanwhile, in the vast majority of our country, although we are seeing some clouds that are not lasting long,

01:18most likely, the weather will still be hot, especially in the afternoon.

01:23And there will be isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening.

01:27In the coming days, we expect that the effect of this strong wind will continue.

01:33That is why we expect that the rainy season will be more frequent,

01:36especially in the vast majority of Luzon and Visayas.

01:39And it is also possible that isolated rains will be more frequent in the afternoon or evening.

01:46The weather here in Luzon will change, as we mentioned earlier,

01:51due to the effect of this southwest monsoon or strong wind.

01:55There are areas that will experience rain or thunderstorms in the afternoon.

01:59In Zambales, Bataan, Metro Manila, Cavite, Batangas, and Occidental Mindoro,

02:06we expect scattered rains, thunderstorms, and thunderstorms.

02:10Meanwhile, in the vast majority of our country,

02:13as we mentioned earlier, it is possible that there will be hot weather in the afternoon.

02:18But in areas affected by the southwest monsoon,

02:21it is possible that there will be sudden rains in the early hours.

02:25Usually, the pattern when it comes to the morning,

02:29we will experience sudden rains.

02:32When it comes to the afternoon, the weather will be hot.

02:34And there will be rains again when it comes to the afternoon and evening.

02:37Those are the areas of Calabar Zone, here in NCR,

02:41as well as in the Mimaropa and Bicol region.

02:43That is where we expect the weather to be today.

02:46And for the rest of Luzon, we expect that from morning to afternoon,

02:50the weather will be hot.

02:52And there are chances that there will be sudden rains when it comes to the afternoon and evening.

02:57So, let's prepare our raincoats or our umbrellas.

03:03As for the temperature today,

03:05here in Metro Manila, the maximum temperature will reach 32°C.

03:0924°C for Baguio,

03:14for here in Lawag, it will range from 25°C to 32°C.

03:1825°C to 34°C for Tuguegarao,

03:21and 24°C to 32°C for Legazpi.

03:24Meanwhile, here in Tagaytay, it will range from 23°C to 31°C.

03:31As for the weather,

03:33in some areas of our country,

03:36like the areas we mentioned earlier,

03:38Palawan and Kabisayaan are affected by the Southwest Monsoon.

03:43We can only expect that it will rain in Palawan and Western Visayas.

03:49Meanwhile, in some areas of Kabisayaan,

03:51like the areas we mentioned earlier,

03:53because they are also affected by the long-term winds,

03:56there is still a possibility that there will be early morning rain showers.

04:00In the afternoon, it will be hot,

04:02and it is possible that it will rain again in the afternoon and evening.

04:05For Mindanao area,

04:07it will be hot from morning to afternoon.

04:09When it comes to the afternoon,

04:11there is still a possibility of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

04:15These are the signs of heavy rainfall.

04:19As for the temperature for the neighboring cities

04:22in the cold regions of our country,

04:24like Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao,

04:26we expect 25°C to 32°C for Kalayaan Islands and Puerto Princesa,

04:32as well as for Cebu and Tacloban.

04:35Meanwhile, for Iloilo,

04:36we expect 25°C to 31°C,

04:3924°C to 32°C for Cagayan de Oro,

04:4225°C to 33°C for Metro Davao,

04:45and for Zamboanga,

04:47we expect 25°C to 34°C.

04:51As for the sea level,

04:53we do not have any gale warnings for now.

04:55We are just being careful about the possibilities of offshore thunderstorms.

04:59These are the signs of sudden rain showers or thunderstorms.

05:03We are hoping that the waves will be moderate

05:06so that our countrymen will be able to sail far,

05:09especially those who have small sea vehicles.
