00:00 The strong north-east monsoon storm is still continuing here in the northern and central Luzon
00:06 and it has experienced a severe rainfall in some parts of it
00:09 while the hot Easterlees or the wind from the Pacific Ocean is still blowing here in the southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
00:16 Based on our latest satellite animation, we have cloud clusters here in the east of Mindanao near the equator
00:24 and it may rain in some parts of these cloud clusters in the next two days in eastern Visayas and Mindanao
00:30 but we do not expect it to be a low-pressure area or a storm.
00:34 For today, we still expect light to moderate rains here in the Micagayan Valley as well as Calinga and Apayau
00:42 along the north-east monsoon.
00:44 While the northern part of Quezon plus the province of Aurora expect light rain along the north-east monsoon.
00:51 For our countrymen, here in the remaining part of Cordillera Region plus Ilocos Region,
00:56 it is cloudy until the morning and evening.
01:00 It is also cloudy from dusk to dusk and it is accompanied by light rain along the north-east monsoon.
01:06 Here in the remaining part of the central Luzon and Calabar Zone plus Metro Manila,
01:11 it is still possible to see cloudy skies and there is a chance of thunderstorms
01:15 while for the rest of the day, it is cloudy.
01:19 Here in the remaining part of the southern Luzon,
01:22 we have rainfalls along the easterlies, Sorsogon and Masbate.
01:26 But for the rest of Bicol Region plus a large part of Mimaropa,
01:30 it is partly cloudy to cloudy skies and there is a chance of short-term rains.
01:35 In terms of our temperature, because of the north-east monsoon, our temperatures are gradually decreasing.
01:40 For Metro Manila, the temperature is between 24 to 31 degrees Celsius or the temperature is decreasing.
01:45 While here in Baguio City, it is between 15 to 23 degrees Celsius.
01:51 For our fellowmen in Palawan, the chances of rainfall are still low even if there are isolated rain showers.
01:58 While here in Visayas, the cloudy weather will be erratic and it will be accompanied by scattered rain and thunderstorms
02:04 in the eastern portions because of the easterlies.
02:07 It is easy if the house will be exposed and be careful of possible floods and landslides.
02:12 Here in the western and central portions of Visayas, it is partly cloudy to cloudy skies.
02:17 There is a chance of a part of a weak rain, especially in the northern portion of Panay Island and northern Cebu.
02:23 This is because of the north-east monsoon while there are easterlies in the southern part of Visayas.
02:31 Our temperature is possible to rise to 31 degrees Celsius for most of Visayas.
02:36 But there are still places where the heat index or the body temperature can rise to 38 to 40 degrees Celsius.
02:43 These are Rojas, Capiz, Dumangas, Iloilo, and Guiwan in the eastern part of the city.
02:49 For our fellowmen in Mindanao, the rainfall is the least that they can experience for today.
02:54 There are chances of isolated rain showers in the Caraga region, Tinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, and Surigao del Sur.
03:01 But for the rest of Mindanao, it is partly cloudy skies and sometimes the sky is sunny from morning to afternoon.
03:07 Then it gets a bit dark in the mountains and there are chances of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
03:14 In Metro Davao, the temperature is between 25 to 34 degrees Celsius.
03:19 But there are places where the heat index can rise to 38 to 40 degrees Celsius because of the easterlies,
03:25 including Zamboanga City and Cotabato City.
03:29 Because of the strong winds, we have a gale warning of up to 5 meters or almost 2 floors of stormy waves
03:37 in the northern zone, including Pangasinan, Bahagia, Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte,
03:45 Panganat ng Batanes, Cagayan, Baboyan Islands, and Isabela.
03:50 The waves are up to 5 meters, so it is dangerous for small sea vessels, especially for our fellow fishermen.
03:58 Later tonight, the sea can be rough in the bay of Aurora and Northern Quezon,
04:03 while it can be rough on Thursday or tomorrow in the bay of Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas
04:10 due to the low tide of the Northeast Monsoon.
04:13 By tomorrow, the Amihan or Northeast Monsoon will still be in the majority of Luzon,
04:18 but it is expected to calm down by Friday, and this could be the end of our Northeast Monsoon season
04:26 and the warm/dry season will be over.
04:30 So, in the majority of Luzon, the Amihan will still be there tomorrow,
04:34 but starting Friday until the weekend, the Easter Leaves could be over.
04:38 So, our temperature will gradually warm up again, not only in the early hours, but especially in the afternoon.
04:44 For Metro Manila, our heat index could reach 36 to 38 degrees Celsius over the weekend.
04:50 There is a chance of light rain, while here in Baguio City, the sun will be brighter for the next three days.
04:58 There is a small chance of rain, while here in Cabiculan, the sky is partly cloudy for the next three days.
05:05 There is also a chance of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms,
05:08 and the temperature will be warmer, especially in Catanuanes and Camarines Sur.
05:13 For our fellow citizens in Visayas, the Easter Leaves or wind from the Pacific Ocean will continue for the next three days,
05:20 and the majority of Panay Island will experience a hot weather,
05:25 plus here in Maya-Samar Provinces, Guiwan, Catbalogan, and Catarman-Northern Samar,
05:30 there is a chance of isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.
05:34 Our temperature in Metro Cebu could also rise to 32 to 33 degrees Celsius in the afternoon.
05:40 Lastly, for our fellow citizens in Mindanao, the Easter Leaves will continue,
05:45 so for those who will go out, bring a blanket in the hot weather,
05:49 like a hat or a umbrella, and drink plenty of water.
05:53 If you will go out, wear comfortable and thin clothing.
05:56 For Metro Davao, the temperature is between 25 to 34 degrees Celsius,
06:01 but the heat index, or what our body will feel, is still possible to rise between 38 to 41 degrees Celsius,
06:08 including Zamboanga City, Butuan, Cotabato City, and General Santos City.
06:14 The sun will rise at 6 in the morning and set at 6.07 at night.
