00:00Good morning to all of you, and here is our weather update for August 21, 2024.
00:08In our latest satellite images, we can see that the southwest monsoon, or Hanging Habagat,
00:14is already affected, particularly here in the northern part of our country.
00:17It has almost no effect on our rivers.
00:21Meanwhile, the low-pressure area that we monitored yesterday,
00:25is outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
00:28It will not affect our country.
00:30And even now, there is still a small chance that it will become a storm.
00:33So for now, the easterlies, or the wind that comes from the Pacific Ocean,
00:38from the east, is the one that is most affected,
00:41particularly here in the area of the eastern Visayas,
00:44as well as the eastern Mindanao.
00:46So today, we expect that a large part of our rivers will experience generally fair weather.
00:52It will still be hot and sunny, especially in the area of Luzon,
00:56while there is a high chance of rain, lightning, and thunderstorms.
01:03We can also see that until the end of this week,
01:06on Friday, the Hanging Habagat will continue to be weak,
01:10and it is possible that it will return to the weekend,
01:12on Sunday, it will affect the May area of Mindanao.
01:16So generally, until the end of this week,
01:18for our upcoming long weekend, fair weather in a large part of our country,
01:23there is still a small chance that there will be a storm in the next few days.
01:30Here in Luzon, we can see that a large part of Luzon
01:34will experience hot and sunny weather,
01:36while there is a high chance of rain from the afternoon until the evening.
01:40So we should still be careful and be prepared for possible localized thunderstorms.
01:44And because we will experience hot and sunny weather,
01:46we can expect high temperatures in Lawag at 26 to 33 degrees Celsius,
01:50in Tagaytay, 24 to 34 degrees Celsius,
01:52while in Baguio, up to 25 degrees Celsius.
01:55In Manila, our high temperatures are 25 to 33 degrees Celsius,
01:59in Tagaytay, 23 to 32 degrees Celsius,
02:02while in Legazpi, 27 to 33 degrees Celsius.
02:07And a large part of Palawan will experience isolated rain showers and thunderstorms,
02:12high temperatures in Calayaan Islands, 26 to 32 degrees Celsius,
02:16while in Puerto Princesa, up to 33 degrees Celsius.
02:19We will also experience isolated rain showers and thunderstorms here in our country,
02:23in the area of Visayas.
02:25High temperatures in Iloilo, 25 to 33 degrees Celsius,
02:29in Cebu, up to 32 degrees Celsius,
02:32while in Tacloban, 27 to 33 degrees Celsius.
02:37A large part of Mindanao will experience isolated rain showers and thunderstorms,
02:41from dusk to dusk,
02:44especially in the eastern section of Mindanao, the Caragat-Davao region.
02:48There is a high chance of rain showers and thunderstorms,
02:51especially in the local thunderstorms, from dusk to dusk,
02:55from dusk to dusk.
02:57High temperatures in Zamboanga, 24 to 33 degrees Celsius,
03:01in Cagayan de Oro, 25 to 32 degrees Celsius,
03:03while in Davao, 25 to 33 degrees Celsius.
03:07As of now, we have not yet received a gale warning in any part of our country.
03:12This means that ships and small vehicles have sailed
03:16in the bays of our islands.
