This city and many localities in Metro Cebu were hit by severe floods that reached up to four feet in some areas on Thursday night following hours of heavy rain.
The excessive rainfall and heaps of garbage that clog drainage systems contributed to the severe flooding that submerged many parts of this city on Thursday night, which, authorities said, was the worst flood here since Typhoon Odette (international name: Rai) inundated and devastated Metro Cebu in December 2021.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) monitoring station on Mactan Island recorded 66.2 millimeters of rainfall in Cebu, which was caused by a low-pressure area formed inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Romeo Aguirre, Pagasa weather specialist, said the amount rainfall in Cebu on Thursday evening was abnorma as the average rainfall on the island for the whole month of August was usually around 157.9 millimeters.
More rains are expected during the weekend in Cebu, according to Aguirre.
