00:00The effect of three different weather systems in our country, the first is the northeasterly
00:10wind flow.
00:11The wind comes from the northeastern part of the island, it brings light rain and dark
00:17weather to the northern part of the island.
00:20Here in the southern portion of Mindanao, there is the Intertropical Convergence Zone or
00:25ITCZ.
00:26This is the line where the wind comes from the northern and southern hemispheres.
00:31That's why sometimes it rains heavily.
00:33For the rest of the country, there is still the effect of the easterly or the hot wind
00:38from the Pacific Ocean and it only brings slight rains or thunderstorms.
00:43And based on our latest satellite animation, we don't see any storm or low-pressure area
00:49that can affect our country until the weekend ends.
00:54Today, Wednesday, we still expect dark weather here in the eastern part of the northern
00:59zone due to the effect of the northeasterly wind flow.
01:03That includes Batanes, Cagayan, Apayao, Isabela, and Aurora.
01:08We expect light to moderate, with at times heavy rains, especially in the mountains of
01:13Isabela and Northern Aurora.
01:15So be careful of landslides.
01:17The rest of Cagayan Valley plus the rest of Cordillera region, we expect dark weather
01:22for today and we only expect slight to moderate rains.
01:27While the rest of the zone includes Metro Manila, partly cloudy to cloudy skies,
01:32and there is a chance of heavy rains or thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon
01:37until the evening.
01:39Our air temperature in Metro Manila is possible to rise to 32 degrees Celsius
01:44in some parts of the northern and central zone, while in Baguio City,
01:49the air temperature is only possible to rise to 25 degrees Celsius.
01:53For our countrymen here in Palawan, we expect fair weather conditions.
01:57It will usually be sunny, but it will be hot, especially in the areas of the central
02:01portion of Palawan.
02:02As we approach Visayas, there are some areas where there will only be slight rains
02:07before noon, including the towns in the eastern and central portion of Visayas.
02:12As we approach noon until the afternoon, the clouds will move towards Western Visayas
02:17and Negros Occidental, even though we expect drizzles.
02:22Our air temperature in Puerto Princesa is possible to rise to 32 degrees Celsius
02:26in the afternoon, while in Metro Cebu, it is possible to rise to 31 degrees Celsius.
02:31And for our countrymen in Mindanao, it is possible to see storms in the southern
02:35portion.
02:36This is the effect of the ITCZ.
02:38There is a high chance of rain early in the morning in Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi,
02:43up to the areas of South Cotabato, Sarangani, Davao Occidental, and Davao Oriental.
02:48And sometimes, there will be strong rains.
02:50Be careful of flooding and landslides, even though the rains will not be continuous.
02:56For the rest of Mindanao, it will be partly cloudy and usually sunny in the morning
02:59until the afternoon.
03:00And then, it will be a bit hot or hot in many areas when the afternoon approaches.
03:04From dusk until night, it is partly cloudy to cloudy, and there is a chance of
03:08rain that will last for 1 to 2 hours.
03:12Our temperature in Zamboanga City and Davao City, it is possible to rise in the afternoon
03:17up to 33 degrees Celsius.
03:20When it comes to our heat index yesterday, the highest heat index that was felt here
03:25in Vera Catanduanes was up to 45 degrees Celsius, followed by Pili, Camarines Sur,
03:30with up to 43 degrees, and in Ibasambales, 42 degrees Celsius.
03:35These places that we mentioned had dangerous levels of heat index.
03:39While in Metro Manila yesterday, it reached 40 degrees, in Iapasay City,
03:44and 37 degrees in Quezon City.
03:47And for our forecast heat index for today, April 2, it is still the hottest in the areas
03:53of Luzon, including Dagupan City, up to 43 degrees, followed by dangerous levels of
03:58heat index of 42 degrees in Ibasambales and Vera Catanduanes.
04:03While for Metro Manila, it is almost the same as the heat that we felt yesterday for today.
04:08That's around 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for today.
04:11Keep reminding our countrymen to be careful.
04:15If you are going out, make sure that you have a heater, like an umbrella and a hat,
04:20and make sure that you drink a lot of water, especially in the afternoon.
04:26And for the location of our ocean, we don't have any gale warnings for now,
04:30and we don't expect any more gale warnings for the next few days,
04:33because we don't have a Northeast Monsoon.
04:36It is expected to be 2 to 3 meters sometimes in the northern and eastern seaboards of Luzon.
04:42While for the rest of the country, it is around 1 to 2 meters.
04:46If there is a thunderstorm, it is likely to rise up to 2.5 meters.
04:51And for our four-day weather forecast, from Thursday to Sunday, that's April 3 to 6,
04:57there are areas on the eastern side of Luzon and Visayas where there is a high chance of rain.
05:02The high pressure here in Taiwan and China will move towards Japan.
05:09So it means that the wind that comes from the north will eventually move to the left or right,
05:16and then eventually the wind will come from the east.
05:19So there are areas here in Quezon, Bicol region, in eastern Visayas,
05:24apart from those in Cagayan Valley and Aurora, where there will also be rain.
05:28And it will also be cloudy for most of the day, especially in the mountains there.
05:32That is the effect of the northeast wind flow plus the easterly,
05:36even though the rain will not continue for the next four days.
05:40Meanwhile, we still have expectations of rain in portions of Davao region and Socsat Gen.
05:45By Thursday and Friday, that will still be the effect of the ITCZ,
05:49or the gust of wind from the northern and southern hemispheres.
05:52The ITCZ can be lifted by the end of the weekend and there will still be a high chance of rain.
05:58Not only those in southern Mindanao, but a large part of Mindanao will have more frequent rains.
06:04And sometimes it will be strong, so be careful of flooding and landslides.
06:08The remaining part of the country is still affected by the easterly,
06:11the central, southern Luzon, and a large part of Visayas.
06:15It will still be hot and there is a high chance of rain.
06:19If there is rain, it will last for one to two hours.
