| Zusammenfassung |
| From 6 to 9 August 2012, intense rainfall hit the northern Philippines,
causing massive floods in Metropolitan Manila and nearby regions. Local rain
gauges recorded almost 1000 mm within this period. However, the recently
installed Philippine network of weather radars suggests that Metropolitan
Manila might have escaped a potentially bigger flood just by a whisker, since
the centre of mass of accumulated rainfall was located over Manila Bay. A
shift of this centre by no more than 20 km could have resulted in a flood
disaster far worse than what occurred during Typhoon Ketsana in
September 2009. |
