Yup, the Philippines is pretty lucky this year. No tropical cyclones of typhoon strength have made landfall until this date. However, being a mere "rainmaker" could be devastating for a country like us; take Tropical Depression Winnie that killed 1,593 for example.
My location, Cebu City, has had several days of >50mm rainfall throughout the past month. The Best Western Lex Cebu Station via Weather Underground recorded 468.8 mm of precipitation this month, 269% of the normal rainfall of 174 mm for September. Imagine how much more could we see given a La Niña is poised to take place within the next few months and more rain would be dumped over our metro area of 3 million. On a side note, it's beginning to flood again on our ground floor; another thunderstorm is coming so my worries are increasing.
