00:24Yes, this part of Puerto Princesa, our station in Palawan area, we were able to record around 200 mm of rainfall.
00:35We are still waiting for the data at 8 in the morning so that we can get the total amount of rainfall.
00:41But yesterday morning until 2 in the afternoon, our observation, the rainfall was almost torrential.
00:49They received around 50 to 100 mm of rainfall in the span of 6 hours of observation.
00:57The heavy rainfall caused flooding in some areas in Palawan.
01:05Also Igan, after the torrential rainfall, they experienced moderate to heavy rains in the next few hours.
01:15In the next few hours yesterday, the flooding in Palawan area increased.
01:25Ana, what other areas should be prepared during this time?
01:29This part of Eastern Visayas, the shear line is still there.
01:34That's why we are still expecting heavy rainfall today.
01:38Sometimes, they are expecting intense rainfall.

01:52That's why we should be extra careful with our fellow countrymen.
01:56We are also expecting light to moderate to severe rains in Bicol region.

02:09Until when should we expect the shear line to last?
02:11This heavy downpour due to the shear line will continue until Feb 12 or until Wednesday.
02:19The intensity of the downpour is moderate.
02:21We can see that the effect of the downpour will be moderate.
02:25But in Easterlies, it is possible that the weather system will be dominant in the middle of this week.
