Current Conditions
Rainfall (mm)
- The bar graph in the figure shows hourly rainfall (the values are seen on the left y-axis).
- The height of the light blue area shows the accumulated rain (the values are seen on the right y-axis) at the Manila Observatory for the last 24 hours.
MTSAT Infrared Image
- The image above is taken from Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS).
- Timestamp is ~1-2 hours earlier than current time.
- Areas of white and red, especially bright white, indicate cloud systems that have greater potential for rainfall.
Typhoon Track
- The image above is taken from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).
MTSAT Visible Image

Hourly Accumulated Rainfall
- Rainfall estimate courtesy of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).
- Color bar indicates rain amount in millimeters per hour.
MO Observations
Rainfall (mm)
- The bar graph in the figure shows hourly rainfall (the values are seen on the left y-axis).
- The height of the light blue area shows the accumulated rain (the values are seen on the right y-axis) at the Manila Observatory for the last 24 hours.
Barometric Pressure
- The red line shows the hourly trend of the barometric pressure for the past 24 hours.
Wind Speed
- The black circles in the figure shows the average wind speed, the green circles indicate the maximum wind speed.
- The green line represents the maximum wind speed during Typhoon Frank in 2008.
Ondoy's 24hr Rainfall Data
- The bar graphs show hourly rain which began on 12 AM PHT, September 26, 2009. The rains lasted for a whole day, bringing accumulated rain of 368.6 mm. The maximum pressure drop around noontime occurred after the heaviest rainfall.
Observations from Other Locations
Potential Impacts
Accumulated Rainfall (mm)
- Daily accumulated rainfall (mm) from 13 February 2012 8AM PHT to 14 February 2012 8AM PHT and the typhoon track.
- Rainfall data taken from Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). Positions of typhoon taken from the JTWC.
- Sources: Goddard Earth Sciences (GES) Data and Information Services Center (DISC), NASA (http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/), and Joint Typhoon Warning Center (http://www.usno.navy.mil/JTWC/)
Population Density
- Population density is based on 2007 data.
- High density areas are marked by large circles (see the legend of the circles).
- The shaded areas denote landslide prone areas.
