00:00The effects of the two weather systems in our country are still ongoing.

00:05The first is the shear line and the northeast monsoon.

00:08The northeast monsoon has an effect on the northern part of Northern Luzon,

00:13while the shear line, or the line where the wind comes from the northern portion of our country,

00:19and also here in Silangan,

00:21so as long as it's a cold northeast monsoon and hot easterly,

00:24it will still cause rain in some parts of Northern Luzon.

00:28Based on our latest satellite animation,

00:30we don't expect a storm to enter our Philippine area of responsibility within the next five days,

00:36but we're still not losing the chance that there will be a whole low-pressure area in Silangan, Mindanao,

00:42along the intertropical convergence zone here in Silangan, Mindanao.

00:48Because of the effect of the northeast monsoon,

00:50we still expect a dark weather and there will be a weak rain here in Batanes,

00:55while the shear line will affect Cagayan, Isabela, and a large part of the Cordillera Administrative Region.

01:01So it means that there will still be heavy rains and thunderstorms there,

01:05so be careful of possible floods and landslides.

01:09The remaining part of Northern Luzon, particularly in Ilocos Region,

01:13will also be affected by the northeast monsoon,

01:15so our temperatures there are also a bit low,

01:18and there will only be a light rain,

01:20while Central and Southern Luzon, including Metro Manila,

01:23will still have a part of clouds and a part of cloudy skies.

01:27Most of our rains will be in Quezon, Aurora, and Bicol Region as early as this morning,

01:33and there will only be dry rains for the rest of Central and Southern Luzon.

01:38Our temperature in Metro Manila is from 24 to 32 degrees Celsius,

01:42and in Baguio City, it's still cold from 17 to 22 degrees Celsius.

01:48For our fellow citizens in Palawan and a large part of Visayas,

01:51there will still be a part of clouds and a part of cloudy skies,

01:54especially in the eastern and central portions of Visayas,

01:57and it will still be accompanied by dry rains.

02:00Usually, it will only last for 1 to 2 hours,

02:03but because of the localized thunderstorms, it will usually last until the afternoon.

02:07Our temperature in a large part of Visayas is from 26 to 32 degrees Celsius,

02:12and the maximum temperature in Palawan Region is also up to 32 degrees.

02:17For our fellow citizens in Mindanao, there are still fair weather conditions in many areas.

02:22There are also areas where it's just morning and the weather is a bit gloomy,

02:25but even if it rains, it won't last long.

02:28By the afternoon and evening, there will be more places in Mindanao,

02:32especially in the central part, where there will be isolated rain showers or thunderstorms

02:37that usually don't last long.

02:39For our fellow citizens here in Mezambuanga City and Davao City,

02:43our temperature in the afternoon can rise up to 34 degrees Celsius.

02:53For our coastal areas, we still don't have a high-level gale warning,

02:57but because of the north-east monsoon,

02:59we still have a bit of a flurry of coastal areas in the northern Luzon,

03:03up to 3.4 meters, or almost on the same level as the high-rise buildings.

03:09It's still dangerous for small sea vessels.

03:11While in the central Luzon, down to Mindanao,

03:14our fellow citizens there are generally allowed to go up to half to one meter,

03:19and if there are thunderstorms, it's possible to go up to two and a half meters.

03:25And for our three-day weather forecast,

03:27over this weekend, it will still be raining in many areas of our country.

03:30Our shoreline is rising, so we will still expect scattered rains and thunderstorms

03:35in Batanes and Baboyan Islands.

03:38While a large part of Eastern Visayas and Mindanao

03:41expect more chance of rain.

03:43It's not continuous, but sometimes it's strong.

03:46So make sure, over this weekend,

03:48to include the rain in our plans

03:51and bring an umbrella as a precaution against rain.

03:56For the day of Monday, December 9,

03:58there are still areas where there will be scattered rains and thunderstorms.

04:02This is because of the shoreline, or the cold and hot easterlies.

04:07This shoreline will be affected the most by Monday.

04:11And for the next few days, next week,

04:13the northern Luzon, the eastern part of the central Luzon and southern Luzon,

04:18as well as Aurora, Quezon, and a large part of Bicol Region,

04:22even the northern Samar,

04:24will also have a high chance of rain early next week.

04:27So make sure that we have an umbrella,

04:29and be careful of floods and landslides.
