00:00It is now the rainy season here in Metro Manila and other parts of the country.
00:06We will now talk to the weather specialist, Azhar Aurelio.
00:11Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali. This is Connie Sison.
00:15Good morning to you, Ms. Connie Sison and to all of our viewers.
00:20What is the reason for the rain that we are experiencing here in Metro Manila and other parts of the country?
00:27Yes, it is due to the Southwest Console, or what we call Habagat,
00:31where a large part of the country is affected.
00:34That is why we are experiencing the rain earlier today.
00:38I see. But are the so-called locations of these two low-pressure areas that we are monitoring, are they near?
00:46There is one low-pressure area that is at 1,090 kilometers east-northeast of the extreme northern zone.
00:55It has no effect on our country because it is very far away.
00:59The other possible low-pressure area, right now, the clouds are red,
01:04but we are monitoring the whole LPA outside the park.
01:09Okay. But can these LPAs also become a storm?
01:15The LPA inside the park has a low chance of becoming a storm, as of today,
01:21based on the data we have collected.
01:23Well, this second one, which is possible to become a LPA, we will see.
01:28It is also possible because of this Habagat.
01:33Right now, the clouds are red, we are monitoring this,
01:37and we have collected the data for this cluster of clouds that is a possible LPA outside the park.
01:45Sir, for our viewers, is it normal to see that the LPAs are moving at the same time?
01:53Is it a low-pressure area that is forming in our country?
01:57That is normal, especially during the rainy season.
02:00When we have two low-pressure areas, or when we experience a storm inside the park.
02:07I see. And the strong rain that is coming from Habagat,
02:11we expect that it will affect the LPAs. Is it stronger?
02:18From what we have seen, moderate to heavy rains are coming from Habagat.
02:27That is not the fault of the LPAs.
02:29That is what you have seen from our TV screen.
02:31The LPAs inside the park are far from our country.
02:35So, when it rains, today and tomorrow, Habagat,
02:39this rain is moderate to heavy.
02:41And this moderate to heavy is concentrated in the areas of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas.
02:49It is also related to the Zamboanga Peninsula.
02:51All right. Thank you very much for the update that you have shared with us here in Balitang Hali, sir.
02:56Thank you, ma'am.
02:57And to our weather specialist, Alzar Aurelio.
