Anomalous

Ondoy brought rains that weather specialists described as “anomalous." While it did not develop into a typhoon, Ondoy brought rains of 341 millimeters (mm) in the first six hours that it struck Metropolitan Manila on Saturday, breaking the highest 24-hour rainfall of 334 mm in Metropolitan Manila in June 1967, according to the Philippines’ weather forecasting bureau.

The Philippines’ maximum annual rainfall is only 4,064 mm or 338.6 per month or 11.3 mm per day. Ondoy’s 341-mm of rain in six hours was equivalent to more than 30 days of rainfall.

In its latest report, the NDCC also said that damage in property caused by Ondoy was worth P1.4 billion, including 204 houses totally destroyed, and 354 houses partially destroyed.

Two more weather disturbances?

Still reeling from Ondoy's wrath, state weather forecasters said on Monday that the country could be hit by two other tropical depressions later this week.

Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa)'s forecaster Connie Dadivas said the two weather disturbances might enter Philippine territory late Wednesday or Thursday.

But another Pagasa forecaster Joel Jesusa, said the two low pressure areas (LPA) were still far away to affect any part of the country for now.

"Malayo pa po, sobrang layo pa ang binabanggit nating dalawang LPA, 1,000 km pa ito (The two LPAs are still too far away, they are about 1,000 km away)," he said on dzXL radio. He added that the two LPAs were moving west-northwest as of Monday.

Earlier in the day, Pagasa said Ondoy continued to move farther away from the country, moving toward Vietnam.
