Habagat 2012 vs. 2013

September 1, 2013 by robertspeta 0 Comments

A question I get asked a lot this past one and a half weeks is what’s worse, habagat (SW monsoon) 2012 or habagat 2013?  It seems that the amount of rainfall in Metro Manila and nearby areas (i.e. Cavite) for 2012 and 2013 was comparably very similar,  the main difference being in the distribution.  Habagat 2013 brought more rain to the southern portion of Metro Manila.
