00:00Good morning to all of us.
00:02Here is the update on the weather disturbance we are monitoring,
00:05Tropical Storm Leon.
00:08The storm Leon is still maintaining its strength
00:11while the ocean is still being washed away by the Luzon River.
00:14And last but not least,
00:161,195 kilometers east of the central Luzon,
00:20the strength of the wind is still strong,
00:2265 kilometers per hour,
00:24close to the center,
00:25and a gust of wind reaching 80 kilometers per hour.
00:28It is moving at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour.
00:32At the moment, it still has no direct effect
00:35on any part of our country.
00:37Meanwhile, the former Tropical Storm Christine
00:40that we are monitoring
00:41is already outside our monitoring region.
00:44And if it changes track
00:47or if it returns to our area of responsibility,
00:52we will again monitor and update
00:55on this weather disturbance.
00:57Meanwhile, the southwesterly wind flow
01:00that was triggered by Tropical Storm Christine
01:03and is currently being influenced by Tropical Storm Leon,
01:07is the one that is affecting
01:09and has a high chance of rain
01:12here in the northern part of Southern Luzon,
01:14Visayas, and Mindanao.
01:16So be careful for our countrymen
01:19in the possibility of flooding
01:21and landslides.
01:24And according to our latest forecast track analysis
01:28of Tropical Storm Leon,
01:29it will continue to move eastward
01:32until tomorrow early morning
01:34before it moves west-northwestward
01:37by tomorrow until Tuesday early morning.
01:40And then we see that it will start to recurve
01:44and move northwestward to north-northwestward
01:48throughout the forecast period
01:51and it is possible for it to landfall
01:53here in the area of Ryukyu Islands
01:56by Friday early morning.
01:58And the center of Tropical Storm Leon
02:01will remain far from our land
02:03or any part of our land.
02:06But we will notice here in our forecast track
02:09that by Tuesday onwards,
02:11it will be closer to the east
02:14of extreme northern Luzon
02:16where by this time,
02:18the outer rain bands of Tropical Storm Leon
02:20is possible for strong winds
02:23and also for heavy rains
02:25here in the area of extreme northern Luzon
02:28even in some parts of northern Luzon
02:31in the next few days.
02:33And also,
02:34we are not removing the possibility
02:37that in the next few days,
02:39Tropical Storm Leon will continue to move
02:43and if it continues to move,
02:47the area of its outer rain bands
02:49will become larger.
02:52So we will continue to monitor
02:54and continue to follow the updates
02:56that will be released.
02:58Meanwhile,
02:59we can also see that Tropical Storm Leon
03:02will intensify into a severe tropical storm
03:05by tomorrow early morning.
03:08And we can also see the possibility
03:10that it will have a rapid intensification
03:14by tomorrow until Wednesday
03:16where it is possible to reach the typhoon category
03:20by Monday evening or Tuesday early morning.
03:26At the moment,
03:27we do not have a high wind signal
03:29in any part of our country
03:31but while Tropical Storm Leon continues to move
03:35in the ocean,
03:36it is possible for us to have a high wind signal
03:38number one here in portions of Cagayan Valley
03:42even in the northeastern portion of Bicol Region
03:45later in the evening.
03:47And what we can see as the highest wind signal
03:49that we can have during Tropical Storm Leon
03:53inside the park
03:55is wind signal number two.
03:58And aside from this,
04:00today,
04:01we can experience strong winds
04:05in the area of Catanduanes,
04:07Northern Samar,
04:08Eastern Samar,
04:09and Dinagat Islands.
04:10And by tomorrow,
04:11and by Tuesday,
04:13the areas of Southern Luzon,
04:15Visayas,
04:16and Mindanao
04:17will experience strong winds
04:20caused by Tropical Storm Leon.
04:23Meanwhile,
04:24for strong rains,
04:26in our latest analysis,
04:28we did not see or unlikely
04:30that Tropical Storm Leon will cause strong rains
04:33in any part of our country.
04:36But as we mentioned earlier,
04:38if the truck or the vehicle
04:41gets closer,
04:43the movement of Tropical Storm Leon,
04:45and also if it gets closer
04:47by Tuesday onwards
04:49here in the east of Extreme Northern Luzon,
04:51its outer rainbands
04:53will cause rain
04:56in the area of Extreme Northern Luzon
04:58and in some parts of Northern Luzon.
05:01And also,
05:02Tropical Storm Leon continues to influence
05:05the southwesterly wind flow
05:07where it is the southwesterly wind flow
05:09that causes rain
05:12in the western sections of Southern Luzon,
05:14Visayas,
05:15and Mindanao
05:16today and in the coming days.
05:21Meanwhile,
05:22for the location of the coastal areas of our country,
05:25when Tropical Storm Leon gets closer
05:28here in our Philippine landmass,
05:30we can see that it will cause heavy rains
05:33up to the sea level
05:36in the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon
05:39as well as in the eastern seaboard of Visayas.
05:41At the moment,
05:42we do not have a high-level gale warning,
05:45but the sea level is still high
05:48here in the western seaboard of Luzon.
05:50So, be careful for our countrymen.
05:56And for the time being,
05:58today is Sunday.
06:00In the whole area of Luzon,
06:02including Metro Manila,
06:04aside from the areas of Occidental Mindoro and Palawan,
06:07we can experience today
06:09a part of cloudy to cloudy skies.
06:12We can only experience isolated rains
06:16as well as localized thunderstorms.
06:19Our regional offices also issue
06:21thunderstorm advisories
06:23regarding these rains.
06:25The average temperature in Metro Manila
06:27is from 24 to 31 degrees Celsius.
06:31Meanwhile,
06:32in the areas of Palawan, Visayas, and Mindanao,
06:36we can experience a high chance of rain
06:39here in Palawan, Occidental Mindoro,
06:42in the western Visayas, Negros Island region,
06:45as well as in the areas of Zamboanga Peninsula and Barb.
06:49This is due to the southwesterly wind flow
06:51that is influenced by a thunderstorm.
06:54So, be careful for our countrymen
06:57in the possibility of floods and landslides.
07:01Meanwhile, in the southern part of Visayas and Mindanao,
