Based on PAGASA’s monitoring, Angat Dam’s water level increased by 0.35 meters from 181.67 Friday to 182.02 on Saturday.PAGASA weather specialist Joey Figuracion said rains may persist within the next 48 hours due to the monsoon trough, a part of the intertropical convergence zone that is attached to the southwest monsoon system.The trough is also a breeding ground for potential low pressure areas and tropical cyclones. In August 2012, the southwest monsoon or “habagat” enhanced by a typhoon with international name “Haikui” brought 222.6 millimeters of rainfall in nine hours.While the rainfall last Friday was lesser than Ondoy and the 2012 habagat rains, it could have spelled disaster for many people especially those living in areas that are at high-risk for floods and landslides if it continued for a few more hours.It should be noted, however, the rains also helped increase the level of water in Angat Dam.
