00:00We will now listen to Lori de la Cruz, weather specialist from Pagasa. Good morning, Lori.
00:06Good morning to you and to our countrymen.
00:10Is the storm, Christine, still strong?
00:13Yes. It's slightly intensified and now, the wind speed is 85 kilometers per hour near the center and the gustiness is 105 kilometers per hour.
00:26What is the category of the storm, Christine?
00:29It's still in the tropical storm category.
00:32Yes, but is it far from being a super typhoon?
00:35For now, it's far from being a super typhoon. I mean, it's still far from being a super typhoon.
00:41And then, possibly, before making landfall, it's in the severe tropical storm category.
00:47It's 85 kilometers per hour. It's strong, right?
00:51And the speed is 25 kilometers per hour. Is it slow, Lori?
00:57It's one of the worst scenarios that I've seen over the past few hours and over the past day because the storm's movement is slow.
01:10Even though it just made landfall near our boundary, the movement is slow.
01:15We can see in your satellite images that the storm, Christine, is spreading.
01:19Aside from the affected areas, does that mean that the storm we're talking about is slow?
01:24Will it bring strong rains to the areas that we can see?
01:31You're right, Egan. Actually, its center is in the sea but the radius of this storm is already very low in the Quezon Province, Micol region,
01:43especially Micol region and in some parts of Visayas.
01:46Even though it hasn't made landfall yet, its radius is already low if it hits some parts of Southern Luzon
01:53and it's already causing strong winds and strong rains.
02:00So does the storm, Christine, bring strong winds, Lori?
02:04Yes, especially near the center.
02:07And when is the possible landfall of the storm, Christine?
02:11It's still possible based on the latest track that we released.
02:16It's possible this evening until the next day.
02:18Until when?
02:21Within our area of responsibility until the weekend.
02:25It's possible that it will come out far by Saturday.
02:29It's like a vacation.
02:31Is there a threat of a storm surge, Lori? What areas can it affect?
02:36Yes. Since the signal number 2 is already high, in the areas where the signal number 2 is high,
02:41in the coastal areas, we have a threat of a storm surge.
02:45So very specific in the northern and eastern coasts like Isabela,
02:54coasts of Aurora and coasts of Camarines Sur, Catanduanes.
03:01In Metro Manila, Lori, how will the weather be today?
03:06Today, we expect that it's still possible.
03:10It's possible that we will experience strong winds and strong rains.
03:15It's possible that it will last until Thursday.
03:18Thank you very much, Lori de la Cruz, weather specialist from Pagasa. Be careful.
