00:00Karina has intensified and is now in the Super Typhoon category.
00:07She is now in the Northern Taiwan area.
00:11Earlier at 4 p.m., her center is located 380 kilometers away from Itbayat, Batanes.
00:19Strong winds are blowing at 185 kilometers per hour near the center.
00:24The storm reaches 230 kilometers per hour.
00:28It is moving in the direction of the northwest at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
00:35This is Karina's track.
00:38We can see that Karina has reached her peak intensity as Super Typhoon
00:44and it is possible for her to landfall in the northern part of the Taiwan area.
00:50It is possible for Karina to landfall in the Taiwan area and become a Typhoon category
00:58and it is possible for her to landfall by tomorrow morning in the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
01:05Because of Karina, the Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 2 is still high in the Batanes area,
01:12while the Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 is in the Babayan Islands,
01:15in the northern portion of the mainland of Cagayan, and in the northern portion of Ilocos Norte.
01:22And also, even though Karina is far from us in Metro Manila,
01:28it is being affected by the Southwest Monsoon or heavy rain.
01:31That is why we have a heavy rainfall warning.
01:34This is released by our National Capital Region, PRSD.
01:38As of 5 p.m., we have a red rainfall warning in Metro Manila, Rizal, Bataan, Zambales, Bulacan, and Pampanga.
01:46While orange warning in Terlac, and yellow heavy rainfall warning in Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Nueva Ecija, and portions of the Quezon area.
01:59What do we expect?
02:01For the heavy rainfall that Karina will experience,
02:04we expect 50 to 100 mm of heavy rainfall in the Batanes and Babayan Islands.
02:09So, like what we mentioned earlier,
02:12the Southwest Monsoon or heavy rain will enhance or change Karina.
02:17That is why we expect moderate to intense rains for today.
02:22100 to 200 mm of rain in Metro Manila,
02:25Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Zambales, Bataan, Terlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, and in Occidental Mindoro.
02:3350 to 100 mm of rain for today,
02:36in Cordillera Administrative Region, Nueva Ecija, and in the parts of Calabarzon.
02:42For tomorrow, we expect 100 to 200 mm of rain in Benguet and Abra,
02:49and 50 to 100 mm of rain in Metro Manila, Cavite, Batanes, Babayan Islands,
02:54and in the parts of Ilocos Region, Abra, Benguet, Zambales, Bataan, and in Occidental Mindoro.
03:01On Friday, we expect 50 to 100 mm of rain in Zambales, Bataan, and in Benguet.
03:08So, for those who live in elevated or mountainous areas,
03:13the forecast rainfall in that area may be higher.
03:16And be careful, our countrymen who live in flood-prone and landslide-prone areas,
03:22because of the risks of flooding or landslides,
03:26especially in the rains of the past few days because the land is saturated in those areas.
03:32In strong winds, like what we mentioned earlier,
03:38Southwest Monsoon or Habagat is getting stronger.
03:42So, it's possible that the strong winds for today,
03:48Cordillera Administrative Region, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Eastern Portion of Isabela,
03:53Central Luzon, Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula,
04:00Northern Mindanao, Barm, and Davao Region.

04:09Quirino, Eastern Portion of Isabela, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, Calabarzon,
04:14Mimaropa, Bicol Region, Western Visayas, Negros Occidental, and Northern Samar.
04:21For tomorrow, Ilocos Region, Cordillera Administrative Region, Nueva Vizcaya,
04:28Quirino, Eastern Portion of Isabela, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Mimaropa,
04:33Bicol Region, and Western Visayas.
04:36That's the cost of Enhanced Southwest Monsoon.
04:40We also have a Gale Warning here in Batanes, Northern Coast of Cagayan,
04:46including Ambabuyan Islands, and Northern Coast of Ilocos Norte.
04:50So, it's dangerous to go there, especially for the small sea vehicles.
04:55And also, in our region, in our neighborhoods,
04:59the sea remains calm until the sea waves rise.
05:03That's why we need to be careful even if there's no Gale Warning in your area.
