00:00The Philippine Area of Responsibility has finally released the typhoon Pepito.
00:04Let's check on the weather this week from Pag-asa Weather Specialist, Simon Magumsiah.
00:11Good evening, Sir Simon.
00:12Good evening, Ma'am Sheila and to our listeners.
00:16As of now, at 4 p.m., the typhoon Pepito has been reported outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility
00:24in the category of Seville Tropical Storm.
00:27It is located 410 km west of Lawag City, Ilocos Norte,
00:32and has a wind speed of 110 km per hour
00:36and a wind speed of 135 km per hour.
00:40At the moment, it is moving west-north-westward at a speed of 20 km per hour.
00:45And because it is also outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility,
00:49we have not been able to see any tropical cyclone wind signals in the areas.
00:54But we have seen a gale warning in the northern seaboard of Northern Luzon.
01:01But this is not because of the typhoon Pepito,
01:04but because of the northeasterly surface wind.
01:08At the moment, we are experiencing party to cloudy skies
01:13and with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms
01:17here in Western Visayas, Caragat, Davao Region, and in the rest of the country.
01:24Here in the Ilocos Region, in Zambales, Cordelia, and Visayas Region,
01:30we are still experiencing cloudy skies with isolated rain showers and thunderstorms.
01:39At the moment, just like the tropical cyclone that we are showing,
01:44the chances of a typhoon to occur in the next few weeks are low.
01:49That is all the latest here in DOST Pag-asa.
01:52Simon Magumsa, thank you very much.
01:57Thank you very much, weather specialist Simon Magumsa.
