WPAC : TROPICAL DEPRESSION MIRINAE (23W)

[breeze]

i woke up this morning to prepare for school, then i heard in the radio that it is signal#2 here in metro manila. wow. mirinae is becoming closer... and larger, seeing the latest satellite image of mirinae, it has very large amount of rainfall. looks like we have to get ready for both the rains and winds O_O scary as halloween...

Classes are not suspended, work will continue, people seems not prepared.

yeah. i think the hype is on the coming halloween, and not on the coming howler O_O i am watching the local news and they are featuring halloween stuff, not about the storm. i wonder if the people are aware that this typhoon exists and is threatening their place.

That's so unfortunate - I was hoping the warnings would be all over the news by now!

Just sad to know, after our nation suffers a lot of typhoon casualties this year and is still looks acceptable. It is not normal to me.

Yes. I would be very nervous but cautious and careful and level-headed at this point.

It was just on the news................signal #2 means there are no classes for the high school and grade school level....signal #3 means that there are no classes up to the college level.............currently polilio island is at signal #3 while metro manila is at signal #2

just wanted to share this. i asked my neighbors on their plans for the all saint's day, and they said that they will visit the cemetery tomorrow and come back sunday night. after hearing that, i realized that people are not informed still about the coming storm.

Wow, look at the outflow

what does that indicate? i thought it already reached its peak winds, but the latest observations is that the typhoon's outflow is "improving" with huge convection, but i am not sure if it will intensify still.

I doubt it can get much stronger at all. The center of strongest thunderstorms is still not symmetrical (circular) enough at all, and the eye just can't seem to form. It is beginning to interact with land as well, and that will disrupt it further. It should come ashore as a bordeline cat 1/ cat 2 at about 80-90 knots and cross Manila as a cat 1, roughly. My best guess.

Just see the news. Looks like only relief goods are being prepared, not the safety of the people. Makati buildings are tall, people in slum and near rivers should evacuate to Makati business district and occupy building. Sounds so crazy government action but it saves peoples lives. I also see schools are being used as evacuation areas here and is also flooded and can be flooded again.

Good Morning...I'm new here...

Since the wrath of Ketsana, I became more interested in the latest weather forecast for the Philippines. Most of the time when visit the websites of TSR or Hurricane zone, it will give me the chills whenever I see a low pressure area forming in the Western North Pacific area and moving westward. S2k really helped me a lot to partially accept the reality that the Philippines is always, or most of the time, at the frontline of typhoons from WNPAC area.

I hope the present system that is about to enter Luzon will weaken to minimize the damage on our country. We're still expecting around 3-4 storms/typhoons before the year ends.

To the Storm Chasers, be safe. God bless us all

i hope so. even a mere tropical depression is enough for us here in metro manila. some areas are still submerged in water after ketsana dumped enormous amounts of rainfall. stronger winds will be another burden for us.

It seems to be losing some of it's convection........

Thanks, Breeze!

I have one question, this may sound very elementary but I have not heard a single crack or rumble of Thunder for quite sometime now... Is there any explanation on this?

I'm going to let ozonepete answer that....

[cycloneye]

Are there any radars in the Phillippines that we can see how the rainbands are closing in on SouthCentral Luzon?

[neil40]

Thanks, dexterlabio!

Yup,I know this site will be a source of interesting facts about the changing weather patterns globally

[Derek Ortt]

you get nice weather surrounding a TC due to subsiding air

[neil40]

Thanks, ozonpete!

I hope you can help me with the very elementary question I asked breeze earlier.
