Yes, Rosing was a Signal No. 4. I was about 5 years old back then. I'll never forget that experience.

Nope, we already had Signal No. 4 back then. I could remember 'coz it meant my dad wouldn't be going to work if the storm was a Signal No. 4. But maybe that's the case when I was in pre-school.

Typhoon Ramil trajectory has changed a little but is still aimed at Northern Luzon.

'Lupit' now a typhoon, enters RP

MANILA - Tropical storm Ramil (international codename Lupit) has intensified into a typhoon and is now in the Philippine area of responsibility, state weather forecasters said Friday.

As of 10 p.m, the storm was sighted 880 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes and is moving in the general direction of Northern and Central Luzon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.

Packing 120 kph winds near the center and gusts of up to 150 kph, the weather disturbance is not expected to affect any part of the country within the next 36 hours.

PAGASA said Luzon will experience mostly cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms while the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

The typhoon might not directly affect the Philippines yet. But the land/sea breeze pattern may be disrupted. Those on the west-facing coasts may see increased rainshowers/thunderstorms while those on the east-facing coasts may see a temporary decrease until the typhoon or at least a feeder band makes it over the country.

Different computer models differ somewhat on when the rain will hit. The timing will vary among models. But, rough guess over the Northern Luzon area..... starting Wednesday morning over the same areas that got hit last time. That's not taking into account any rain from the land/sea breeze circulation or monsoonal flow.

The only thing they agree on is the typhoon will continue tracking westward, again due to High Pressure up north.

For those in Manila, I'd watch out for greatly increased rainfall once Lupit moves into the South China Sea and Manila comes under that southwesterly flow. Thursday morning, perhaps?

Again that far out.... I wouldn't bet money on these forecast models.

Add: The main thing is everyone on the Philippines need to be aware of what's coming and plan. It wouldn't hurt to be prepared and nothing happens.
