Rainshowers poured on parts of Metro Manila, much to the delight of some Filipinos, who were reeling from extreme heat over the past few weeks.
The weather was consistent with the forecast of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), which said the hottest temperatures are about to end.
PAGASA released a thunderstorm advisory on Wednesday noon, saying that “moderate to heavy rain showers with lightning and strong winds are expected over Metro Manila, Rizal, Quezon, Laguna and Bulacan within the next two hours.”
“All are advised to take precautionary measures against the impacts associated with these hazards which include flash floods and landslides,” the state weather bureau added.
PAGASA had earlier forecast that one or two cyclones may enter or form within the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) in May.
