hihina daw pag nag-landfall na siya. so kung tama ang sinabi ni robert, from 240kph to 195kph, hindi pa rin biro yan. pero kung bukas ang basis, around 176kph to 209kph... :hammer:

Whenever I want to see the forecast for Manila, I use the one for Ninoy International (ICAO: RPLL). Seems like they're not expecting anything severe..... Of course, this would only hold true for the airport and vicinity (Paranaque and Las Pinas).

RPLL 020800Z 25014KT 7000 -RA SCT022 OVC090 28/28 Q1002 NOSIG CONTUS LGT RA RMK A2959

I figured I'd add these airports. If PAGASA's forecast seems too generic or covers too wide an area, using forecasts for these airports can narrow down the weather to a specific area. The drawback to that is you have to live close to that airport, I'd say no more than 5 miles away.

So for Paranaque and Las Pinas, Ninoy International (RPLL) would give a good approximation of weather for those areas, especially for areas such as BF Homes (Paranaque) which is right next door to the runway/taxiway.

The observations are current conditions and are done every hour as a minimum. The forecasts are done every 8 hours. Technically, a forecast is supposed to cover a full 24-hour time period. But, some simply cover just the 8 hours until the next forecast.
