Meanwhile, state weather bureau PAGASA has issued again a RED WARNING SIGNAL for Metro Manila as heavy to intense rainfall (7.5 to 28.0 millimeters per hour) was observed in the area for the past 3 hours.
Due to the effect of the series of thunderstorms associated with the Southwest Monsoon, expect heavy to intense rainfall (10 to 30mm/hr) with occasional torrential rainfall (more than 30mm/hr) within 3 hours, weather experts said.
There is no typhoon or storm existing within the Philippine Area of Responsibility, but the Southwest Monsoon is still affecting Luzon and Visayas.
PAGASA advised residents in high risk areas to take precautionary measures and to watch out for the next warning.
