Thunderstorms cause floods in parts of PH

GMA Network2 days ago
Several parts of the country experienced flooding due to inclement weather caused by localized thunderstorms.
In a ''24 Oras Weekend'' report by Jamie Santos, a motorist took footage of vehicles forced to cross the gutter-deep floods in some parts of Cainta, Rizal on Saturday morning.
The flood was almost ankle deep in Montalban, Rizal.
Inclement weather also caused heavy traffic on E. Rodriguez Avenue, Sumulong Memorial Circle Road in Antipolo, Ortigas Avenue Extension, and Taytay Diversion Road.
Meanwhile, waters entered the homes of residents in Barangay Malanday, Marikina, while some of them removed blockage in their sewer, including trash, cement and dried leaves.
They called on local authorities to take action regarding fast-rising floods despite little rainfall.
In a separate ''24 Oras Weekend'' report by Nico Waje, a school was hit by flood in Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, due to localized thunderstorms.
Students and teachers worked together to remove water from classrooms.
According to the school administration, flooding was caused by both rain and the construction of the drainage system.
Thunderstorms also occurred in parts of Metro Manila on Saturday.
Most parts of the country will continue to experience rains on Sunday because of the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat), PAGASA said in its Saturday afternoon forecast.
Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan will have occasional rains, while Metro Manila, Mindanao, Cordillera Administrative Region, the rest of Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon, CALABARZON, MIMAROPA, and Western Visayas will see cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms.
Bicol Region and the rest of Visayas will expect partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. —Jamil Santos/VBL, GMA Integrated News

Habagat to bring rains over Ilocos provinces — PAGASA

Rains will persist over the Ilocos provinces due to the Southwest Monsoon (habagat), state weather bureau PAGASA said Monday. In its 11 am advisory, PAGASA said 50-100 millimeters of rain may be experienced over Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. This comes following the exit of tropical cyclone Bising (international name: Danas) from the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) and its downgrade to a severe tropical storm earlier. PAGASA warned of localized flooding in urbanized, low lying, or areas near rivers. Landslide is also possible in highly susceptible areas. Marine gale warning A marine gale warning will remain in effect over the coastal waters of Ilocos Region, Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Zambales, Bataan, Quezon, Occidental Mindoro, Masbate, and Romblon due to habagat. The weather bureau warned mariners of small seacrafts, including all types of motorbancas to refrain from venturing to the sea under the conditions. Bising Earlier, PAGASA lifted the tropical wind signal over all areas in the country after Bising exited PAR again at 5 a.m. It continued to move north northeastward over the next 12 hours before turning northward over the East China Sea by morning July 8. By afternoon, it is forecast to turn generally westward, making landfall over the Eastern China region. It will continue to move west southwestward until it becomes a remnant low by July 9. The severe tropical storm will continue to weaken over the East China Sea due to unfavorable conditions. It is forecast to weaken into a remnant low by Wednesday as it moves over the landmass of Eastern China. The center of the eye of Bising was estimated based on all available data 605 km North of Itbayat, Batanes (outside PAR), moving northward at 35 km/h and has maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 125 km/h. — Sundy Locus/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
