00:00Happy weekend to all of us, I'm Benison Estareja.
00:07This Sunday, the North-East Monsoon or Hanging Amihan will return here in the extreme northern Luzon.
00:14It is expected to get stronger in the next few days, possibly reaching a large part of Luzon.
00:19Meanwhile, this Sunday, the effect of the East Release or the hot wind from the east will continue
00:25and will continue for some time, especially in the afternoon,
00:29and will be accompanied by heavy rains or lightning.
00:33Based on our latest satellite animation,
00:36we do not see any low-pressure air or typhoons,
00:38and we do not expect any weather disturbance for the rest of the week.
00:43Today in Luzon, the highest chance of rain is here in Maybatanes and Baboyan Islands.
00:49Because of the return of Amihan, these are just light rains.
00:52Here in some parts of Bicol Region, such as Catanduanes, Albay, and Sosogon,
00:58we only expect light to moderate rains and isolated thunderstorms following the East Release.
01:05In the remaining part of Luzon, we still expect almost the same weather conditions as yesterday.
01:10Parts will be cloudy and sunny in the morning until noon,
01:14and then when it reaches the evening, parts will be cloudy,
01:17until the sky is sometimes cloudy,
01:19and will be accompanied by heavy rains or lightning,
01:23especially in the areas of Cagayan Valley, Cordillera Region, Aurora, and Quezon Provinces.
01:29Our temperature in Metro Manila is still warm, from 23 to 33 degrees Celsius.
01:34Now in Tukigaraw, it is up to 33 degrees and Isabela,
01:38while in Baguio City, it will remain cold from 16 to 25 degrees Celsius.
01:44To our fellowmen here in Palawan, we still expect fair weather conditions,
01:48which means parts will be cloudy and sometimes sunny,
01:52and there are areas where it will not rain if there is any,
01:55only short rain showers.
01:57While in Visayas, the chance of rain is the highest because of the East Release,
02:01in the Northern Samar.
02:03While in the remaining part of Visayas, it will be partly cloudy skies,
02:07and will be accompanied by sometimes dark weather,
02:09and partly rainy skies, which will last for 1 to 2 hours.
02:14Our temperature in the majority of Palawan and Visayas,
02:17will rise to 33 degrees when the afternoon arrives.
02:21And to our fellowmen in Mindanao,
02:23before the afternoon arrives, there is a high chance of rain in the southern portion,
02:27including the Bangsamoro Region, Soksabjen, Davao Region,
02:31and the southern part of Zamboanga Peninsula,
02:33so make sure to bring an umbrella when you go out of your house.
02:36While in the remaining part of Mindanao in the morning,
02:39it will be partly cloudy skies,
02:41but when the afternoon arrives until the evening,
02:43the majority of Mindanao will be mostly cloudy skies,
02:46accompanied by rain showers, which will last for 1 to 2 hours,
02:51because of the East Release.
02:53Our temperature in Metro Davao will be up to 33 degrees,
02:56while the hottest temperature in Zamboanga City will be up to 34 degrees Celsius.
03:02And speaking of Zamboanga City,
03:03we were able to record dangerous levels of heat index yesterday
03:07in Zamboanga City, up to 42 degrees,
03:10and even hotter, in Biracat, Tanduanes,
03:12the heat index reached 43 degrees Celsius.
03:15This is the heat index that our body is feeling,
03:19while in Metro Manila, it only reached 36 degrees yesterday,
03:23the highest heat index.
03:25It was followed by 40 degrees in Cuyo, Palawan,
03:28Legazpi City, Albay,
03:29Dumangas, Iloilo,
03:31Davao City,
03:32Cotabato City,
03:33and General Santos City.
03:36As for our heat index forecast for today,
03:38for Metro Manila,
03:39the heat index that we will be feeling as yesterday
03:42will be 35 to 36 degrees Celsius,
03:45the highest heat index,
03:47while the highest is still up to 42 degrees Celsius,

04:00Today and tomorrow,
04:01the easterly will still be here,
04:03so make sure that we drink a lot of water,
04:05and only wear comfortable and thin clothing
04:08when going out of the house.
04:10Make sure that we have protection from the heat,
04:12such as an umbrella or an umbrella.
04:15As for our gale warning,
04:17our forecast is getting stronger,
04:18so we hope that there will be more gale warnings,
04:22but for today,
04:23we only have a gale warning in Batanes,
04:25where small sea vessels are not allowed to sail.
04:29But in the next few days,
04:31the gale warning is still possible in many seaboards of Luzon,
04:35so it is also possible to ban our sea vehicles
04:38in some parts of Ilocos Region,
04:40Cagayan Valley,
04:41Aurora, Quezon,
04:42and even parts of Camarines Provinces.
04:45Our country's by-byes for today are
04:47Banaya, up to just above Pagalon,
04:50then it is possible that the waves will also rise,
04:53especially in the eastern seaboards of Visayas and Mindanao.
04:58And for our four-day weather forecast,
05:01as we mentioned earlier,
05:03the gale warning is getting stronger,
05:04and by tomorrow,
05:05it will reach Northern and Central Luzon.
05:07There will be light rains here in Cagayan Valley,
05:10Apayao,
05:11Aurora,
05:12and some nearby provinces in Ilocos Region,
05:14and maybe Northern Quezon,
05:16so make sure that we have an umbrella.
05:18While the remaining part of the country
05:20will still experience hot easterlies,
05:22so make sure that we still have an umbrella,
05:24not only protection in hot weather,
05:26but also for isolated rains or thunderstorms
05:29when it reaches afternoon or night,
05:31especially in the eastern Visayas,
05:33a large part of Mindanao,
05:34and even Bicol Region.
05:37And when it reaches Tuesday until Thursday,
05:39that's March 8th into 20th,
05:41you can expect a strong north-east monsoon,
05:45so the heat that will be felt by our surroundings will be reduced.
05:48Expect light to moderate rains
05:50in Cagayan Valley,
05:51Aurora,
05:52here in Quezon Province,
05:54and other parts of the Cordillera Administrative Region,
05:57while here in Visayas,
05:59the eastern part of Cabicula,
06:01and Mimaropa,
06:02you will find the Amihan and Easterlies.
06:04So we will have a heavy shoreline again
06:06when it reaches Tuesday until Thursday,
06:08and sometimes the rains will be strong and continuous,
06:10so be careful of floods and landslides,
06:13and always talk to our advisories
06:15or even heavy rainfall warnings.
06:17Meanwhile, here in Mindanao,
06:19the easterlies will be stronger,
06:22so expect a high chance of rain
06:24from Tuesday to Thursday,
06:26especially in Maycaraga and Davao Region.
06:28Also be careful of floods and landslides.
06:30While here in the northern part of Luzon,
06:33the north-east monsoon is already increasing,
06:36so we expect isolated light rains,
06:38and the good news is
06:40that the temperature will drop in many areas of our country.
