PAGASA has again released a Red Warning signal in Metro Manila as of 12:30 AM of August 8, 2012 due to heavy to intense rains that cause flood in low-lying areas. The bureau says the rains will last until Thursday and we can expect the weather to be better over the weekend.
There is no tropical cyclone in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). It is the Southwest Monsoon that is affecting Luzon and Visayas.
From the update released by PAGASA on August 8, 2012, 12:30 AM:
Torrential rainfall (35.0-60.0mm/hr) was observed over CAMANAVA, QC and Manila while Heavy to Intense rainfall (15.0-30.0mm/hr) was observed over the rest of Metro Manila for the past 3 hours.
Due to the effect of the series of thunderstorms embedded in the Southwest Monsoon flow, expect Heavy to Intense (15.0-30.0mm/hr) rains with occasional Torrential (more than 30.0mm/hr) rains within 3 hrs.
Residents in flood/landslides risk areas are advised to take precautionary measures and WATCH OUT for the next warning.
Classes in Metro Manila as well as in some Luzon provinces have already been suspended. You can click here for details on the suspension of classes for August 8, 2012.
