00:00The center of the eye of the typhoon Marse has passed through the northern part of Apari, Cagayan, and it is slowly moving towards Canluran.
00:09Let's get an update on the current situation from weather specialist, Benison Estareja.
00:15Good evening, Sir Benison.
00:18Good evening to you and to our listeners.
00:21Update regarding the typhoon Marse.
00:23As of 4 p.m., it is only 300 kilometers away from the northern part of Apari, Cagayan.
00:28The wind speed is 150 kilometers per hour, close to the eye of the typhoon.
00:32The gustiness is up to 185 kilometers per hour.
00:36It is slowly moving towards Canluran or to the left.
00:40It is expected to pass through the northern part of the zone.
00:44Let's hope that the wind will ease up in the next two days.
00:47We have a tropical cyclone wind, signal number 3, here in Santa Ana and Gonzaga, Cagayan.
00:54Signal number 2 in Batanes, west of Cagayan.
00:57Northern portion of Isabela, like Apayao.
01:00Northern portion of Calinga, northern Abra.
01:03Ilocos Norte and northern portion of Ilocos Sur.
01:06While there is signal number 1 in the rest of Ilocos Sur, La Union.
01:10Northeastern portion of Pangasinan, like the rest of Abra.
01:14Rest of Calinga, Mountain Province, Ipugao, Benguet.
01:18Rest of Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, and northern portion of Aurora.
01:24Especially those with signals number 2 and 3.
01:27We can also raise signal number 4 in some parts of the northern zone.
01:32Be careful of strong winds that can destroy crops and small trees.
01:37There is also a chance that the structure will be damaged, especially the one in Cahoy.
01:42Meanwhile, our rainfall is concentrated here in the north.
01:45We expect within the next 24 hours, heavy to intense rain.
01:49Up to 200 millimeters in Cagayan, Apayao, and Ilocos Norte.
01:53While up to 100 millimeters of rain in Batanes, Abra, Isabela, Ilocos Sur, and Aurora.
02:00So always stay with our heavy rain for warnings and advisories.
02:04And continue to be careful of floods and landslides.
02:09That's all for now from the Weather Forecasting Center of Pagasa.
02:12Back to you.
02:13Sir Benison, is there anything that the country will experience tonight?
02:17Particularly in Eastern Park and Metro Manila due to the rain.
02:21For now, we have localized thunderstorms in some places here in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
02:27But for northern and parts of Central Luzon, we expect that the rainfall will eventually increase.
02:44I think it's between the top management and President Marcos.
02:48But so far, what we are emphasizing is that we are always aware of possible impacts and the timing of those impacts.
02:57Thank you very much, Pagasa Weather Specialist, Benison Estareja.
