00:00Good morning and live here at the Pagasa Weather Forecasting Center.

00:08The time is here, today is Tuesday, March 11, 2025.

00:13And in our latest satellite images, we can see that the easterlies or the wind

00:18coming from the Pacific Ocean is now affecting our country.

00:22The winds are getting weaker although we are still hoping that next week

00:26there will be a last shower of north-east monsoon or rain.

00:30Compared to the past few days, the rainfall here in our country has decreased.

00:34That's why generally fair weather in a large part of our islands,

00:38aside from our usual isolated or dry rains,

00:43lightning and thunderstorms, isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.

00:46Meanwhile, there is a high chance of rain in parts of Aurora and Quezon,

00:51especially the easterlies.

00:52It's possible that the winds will be strong in the beginning,

00:56that's why we should be careful of flash floods and landslides.

01:01Meanwhile, we are not monitoring any types of storms inside and outside

01:04of the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

01:06Again, the month of March is one of the months of the year

01:09where there are very few storms entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

01:16Today, here in Luzon, we are expecting a bigger chance of rain

01:20in parts of Aurora and Quezon,

01:23while most of Luzon will experience isolated or dry rains,

01:29lightning and thunderstorms.

01:30It's still possible that the weather will be cloudy,

01:32especially in the afternoon and evening.

01:35Let's take a look at the temperature outside.

01:37It's 26 to 34 degrees Celsius.

02:45Meanwhile, in Metro Davao, it's 24 to 32 degrees Celsius.

02:50Because the weather is getting colder,

02:52we don't have a high gale warning in any part of our country.

02:56Even if the weather is just right,

02:58sometimes, the sea waves can be felt in the eastern part of the region.

03:02Please be careful, especially the small sea vehicles and small boats,

03:07especially when there are thunderstorms that can make the sea waves stronger.

03:39Today, here in Metro Manila,

03:42the possible temperature we can feel is 38 to 39 degrees Celsius.

03:46Meanwhile, the places where we can expect a heat index of up to 41 degrees Celsius

03:52or where we can feel the heat is in Masbate,

03:55in Cataruman, and in Zamboanga City, Zamboanga del Sur.

03:59Continuously, the weather gives us hope,

04:02especially during the hot or dry season,

04:06that the hot weather will continue,

04:08so we should avoid going out, especially in the afternoon,

04:11and drink water regularly

04:13so that we can avoid the heat that we can feel

04:16that we are expecting during the dry season,

04:19or the hot season.
