Today's "monsoon" rains break Typhoon Ondoy's record rainfall... Fortunately, the rains were spread out during the day compared to Ondoy's few hours.
MANILA, Philippines - Rainfall during the past 22 hours has surpassed the rainfall recorded during tropical storm Ondoy in 2009.
From 4:45 pm on Monday, August 6, to 3 pm Tuesday, August 7, the rain gauge at the Quezon City Polytechnic University recorded an accumulated 472 millimeters of rain, according to Dr Mahar Lagmay, executive director of the National Operational Assessment of Hazards (NOAH).
Lagmay's data is from NOAH and the state weather bureau Pagasa.
This is higher compared to the 455 mm, 24-hour accumulated rainfall during tropical storm Ondoy (international codename Ketsana) back in Sept 26, 2009, measured at the Pagasa Science Garden in Quezon City.
In an interview on ANC, the ABS-CBN News Channel, Lagmay said the data must be put into perspective.
"The accumulated rainfall, although it's higher now, is different from Ondoy because the Ondoy's accumulated rainfall, much of that was delivered over a shorter span of time, within 6 hours ... so the intensity of that rainfall then during Ondoy was higher than the intensity delivered during this rainfall."
An enhanced southwest monsoon is causing the non-stop rain pouring over large parts of Luzon, including Metro Manila, Pagasa said.

Yung mga ulol na sinasabing this is God's way of revenge kasi pinayagan ang RH Bill, mga ulol kayo. Kaya nangyayari 'to kasi walang RH bill. Dumadami yung mga squatter na nagkakalat at bumabara sa mga drainage.
