Weather TALK [forecasts, etc]

^^ Baka yung isa nasa likod pa ni Melor. Grabe naman, every week na 'tong bagyo.

Haaayy.... iwish na lang natin na lumihis si melor. :sigh:

[testament11]

based sa picture dun sa jtwc, si melor eh palihis ang takbo. aiming for japan siya. wag lang talaga mahahatak ni pepeng tom. o kaya eh, si pepeng tom ang hatakin ni melor!

Are we safe now? No more rains for Metro Manila today?

[renzo_d10]

^^ Cathy, according to pagasa, again, mamayang gabi na daw landfall

[ssaloon]

Still expect rains in Manila, pero di na siguro heavy downpours.

[Zeus]

Wala na typhoon signal ang Metro Manila sana konti na lang ang ulan...

[ghosthunter]

But the typhoon has passed it's closest proximity to Manila. Land fall would be at the northern tip of Luzon. So unless it changes it's direction, Manila is safe.

Does anyone know a website where I could view the altitude/terrain of our area?

Google Maps has latitude and longitude but it doesn't give the altitude/terrain profile. I am curious because some areas in our village were flooded and some weren't. I just want to know the highest point in our village. I am trying http://topocoding.com/ but it doesn't work for our area.

[renzo_d10]

Yeah. Good thing for us, but not for the cagayan people

Atleast it wont affect manila that much, since some of the barangays are still flooded with waist to chest deep water.

Melor is expected to track west northwest towards Japan and be pulled by the weather pattern north. Since typhoons in this area rarely track south it shouldn't hit Manila(it's latitude coordinate are already north of Manila) even if it tracks towards Luzon it would go near Batanes but more likely Taiwan.
