00:12Eventually, by the afternoon and until the long weekend,
00:16the southwest monsoon will return and it will continue to rain in southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:25We do not rule out the possibility that the cloud clusters here in Mimaropa
00:30could be formed as shallow circulations or low pressure areas.
00:34That is why we will continue to monitor this.
00:37Meanwhile, the weather disturbance outside the Philippine area of responsibility
00:41has increased as a severe tropical storm.
00:44This is an international name, Shan-Shan,
00:46and it is still more than 2,100 kilometers away in the east of central Luzon.
