Latest satellite image shows the cloudiness associated with Tropical Storm Rumbia is now moving across Southern Luzon regions. Convective activity is starting to rebuild near the storm's center, just as it passes near Metro Manila. As the system pulls away, we're also starting to see rain taper off across Eastern Visayas and the Bicol Region.
Radar Image from PAGASA
Latest radar image out of the Subic Doppler Radar shows widespread moderate rains moving into Central and Southern Luzon. Metro Manila, Rizal, Bulacan, Cavite, Batangas, and nearby areas should expect the rains to continue with possible accumulations of up to 100mm increasing the likelihood of flooding and landslides. If you are in prone areas, coordinate with your local officials for the latest reports in your area. For the latest radar image and rainfall reports, please click HERE (ClimateX PH Website)
Tropical Storm Rumbia will continue moving west northwestward and should exit into the South China Sea later this afternoon. Rains will continue for Central and Southern Luzon throughout the day today but should begin to ease later tonight into tomorrow.
