00:00We can see here in our latest satellite images,

00:03these thick clouds that are continuously affecting the area of Mindanao.

00:08The continuous effect of this Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ

00:13is the accumulation of wind from the northern and southern hemispheres.

00:17Because of the ITCZ, we expect a high chance of rain today

00:23here in the southern and western portions of Mindanao.

00:26Remember here in the area of Palawan.

00:28In Metro Manila and in the rest of the country,

00:31we will experience a clear weather.

00:34It will only be accompanied by isolated rain showers or localized thunderstorms.

00:39Especially here in the eastern section of Luzon

00:42because of the arrival of Easter East

00:45or the wind coming from the Pacific Ocean.

00:48We will continue to monitor this low-pressure area

00:50outside our Philippine Area of Responsibility.

00:54Our latest location earlier this morning at 3 am

00:57is at a distance of 1,455 kilometers from the south-eastern Luzon.

01:03The scenario we see is a medium chance for this low-pressure area.

01:07This means that it is possible for this to become a storm

01:10within the next 24 to 48 hours.

01:13But we do not expect this

01:15or low chance of tropical cyclone development within the next 24 hours.

01:21For the current weather situation here in Luzon,

01:27a large portion of Luzon, including Metro Manila,

01:30will continue to experience clear weather.

01:32But this Easter East or the wind coming from the Pacific Ocean,

01:36isolated thunderstorms are possible here in the eastern section of our country.

01:44Particularly in the areas of Cagayan Valley,

01:47Isabela, Quezon, and other parts of the Bicol Region.

01:52We will also prepare for the chances of thunderstorms in Metro Manila,

01:56especially in the late afternoon to evening.

01:58But now in the morning and afternoon,

02:00we expect generally fair weather conditions.

02:03The total temperature outside today

02:06is possible to reach 32 degrees Celsius.

02:0932 degrees in the area of Taguigarao

02:11and 24 degrees Celsius in Baguio City.

02:14Maximum temperature forecast for Metro Manila today

02:17is possible to reach 32 degrees Celsius.

02:2033 degrees in the area of Legazpi

02:23and 31 degrees Celsius in the area of Tagaytay.

02:28In the area of Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao,

02:31the southern and western sections of Mindanao,

02:34and also here in Palawan,

02:36particularly in the areas of Zamboanga Peninsula,

02:39Barms, Oxargen, and Davao Occidental,

02:42we expect high chances of widespread thunderstorms today.

02:45It is still the tip of the Intertropical Convergence Zone or ITCZ.

02:49So let's continue to be prepared and alert to the threats

02:52of flooding and landslides,

02:54especially if the rain continues.

02:57For Visayas and the rest of Mindanao,

03:00we will also experience generally fair weather conditions throughout the day.

03:03Let's also prepare for the chances of localized thunderstorms,

03:07especially in the afternoon to evening.

03:10Maximum temperature forecast for Kalayaan Islands today

03:13is possible to reach 32 degrees Celsius.

03:1632 degrees in the area of Puerto Princesa

03:19and 32 degrees Celsius in the areas of Iloilo, Cebu, and Tacloban.

03:25Maximum temperature forecast for Cagayan de Oro today

03:28is possible to reach 32 degrees Celsius.

03:3133 degrees in the area of Davao

03:33and 32 degrees Celsius in the area of Zamboanga.

03:38In our current weather conditions,

03:40there are no high-level gale warnings in any of our islands.

03:44It is expected that there will be moderate to moderate thunderstorms

03:47in a large part of our country.

03:49However, it is still possible to experience thunderstorms

03:52or offshore thunderstorms.

03:54So let's expect strong winds if we have offshore thunderstorms.

03:59This will affect the rise of our waves.

04:02So be careful of our fellow fishermen.

04:06As for our 3-day weather outlook in a large part of our country,

04:12this low-pressure area that we are monitoring outside the PAR,

04:15we expect that it will be possible to enter our area of responsibility

04:19within the day.

04:20And the scenario that we are seeing for the time being

04:24is that the chance of tropical cyclone development is increasing.

04:27So our scenario is that there is a medium chance that it will be a storm.

04:31We expect that it will be a storm within the next 24 to 48 hours.

04:36And this time period, possibly by late Sunday to early next week.

04:41So for now, it is still far from our country.

04:43But for the next few days, we expect that because of its proximity to our land,

04:49it will be possible for rain to fall in some areas of Luzon,

04:53particularly in parts of Cagayan Valley, Aurora,

04:56a large part of Southern Luzon, and Visayas.

04:59Here in the area of Palawan and Mindanao,

05:01because of the ITCZ or Intertropical Convergence Zone,

05:04the high chance of storms and thunderstorms will continue in the mentioned areas.

05:09So for the next few days, a large part of our country,

05:12we expect that there will be rainfall due to the ITCZ

05:17and this possible storm that we are monitoring.

05:20So stay tuned for future updates on the forecast

05:25regarding our weather and our low-pressure area that we are monitoring

05:30outside our Philippine Area of Responsibility.
