风暴信号,通俗解释

PAGASA raises a Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal for the areas in a storm's path, Metro Manila included when one tracks near. This is what each number means for your day.

信号 1

36 小时内风速 39–61 公里/小时。Classes often suspended for preschool and kindergarten. Jeepneys and trains keep running. Expect heavier traffic and the power to flicker. Watch for the rain that comes with the wind — that is what floods the metro, not the wind itself.

信号 2

24 小时内风速 62–88 公里/小时。Classes suspended up to high school, often college too. Many offices shift to work-from-home. Expect flooding on the usual low roads, disrupted commutes, and brownouts becoming likely rather than possible.

信号 3

18 小时内风速 89–117 公里/小时。All classes and most government work suspended, many private offices too. Stay off the road — flooding and stalled vehicles gridlock the metro. Power will go, and it may be out for a day or more afterwards.

信号 4 和 5

风速超过 118 公里/小时。Serious, and rare for the metro but it happens. Evacuate if you are told to, especially in low-lying and riverside barangays along the Marikina River and in the northern coastal cities. Do not wait to be told twice.

The real danger in Metro Manila is water, not wind. The metro is flat, low, and paved, so heavy rain has nowhere to go. A storm that barely moves the trees can still put whole districts under water. Read the signal as a warning about rain and flooding, not just wind.

下雨时

Metro Manila has a clear wet and dry season, unlike the southern islands. The dry months are mostly comfortable; the wet months bring the flooding the city is known for.

December to February

The cool dry season.The most pleasant time of year — cooler, breezier, low rain. The northeast wind (amihan) keeps mornings mild.

March to May

The hot dry season.The build-up to summer. April and May are punishing — high heat and humidity, little rain. This is peak air-con season.

6 月到 11 月

The wet season, and typhoon season.Rain arrives as heavy afternoon and evening downpours, and typhoons can pass through or nearby. This is when the metro floods. The peak risk window is July to October.

Habagat,大约 6 月至 9 月

西南季风。The metro's main flood driver. A habagat surge — often pulled in by a distant typhoon — can dump days of rain on the city and submerge low areas even with no storm directly overhead.

哪里会涝

Flooding in the metro is about how flat and paved it is, plus the rivers and the tide. Some spots go under within minutes of a hard downpour, and stay flooded long after the rain stops.

Low-lying riverside areas near the Marikina River (Marikina, parts of Pasig, Cainta just outside) rise fast and are the first to be evacuated in a big storm.
The northern coastal cities (Malabon, Navotas, low parts of Caloocan and Valenzuela) sit at or below sea level and flood from rain and high tide together.
España Boulevard and parts of Manila (Sampaloc, low Quiapo and Tondo streets) are notorious for fast, deep street flooding.
Underpasses and low junctions along EDSA and the major roads flood and trap vehicles in the same spots every year. Locals know them, which is why the forum is worth reading before you drive.

电力、水、网络

停电往往在风暴之后而非同时发生。 灯光常在大风中保持,风后才熄灭,那时工作人员切电以安全清理线路。
前一天给所有设备充电 信号发布。这里充电宝比手电筒更重要。
水压下降或停水 泵停电时。请提前储水。
手机数据通常比光纤更耐用。 网络中断时,通信网络通常仍能传递短信。
风暴前备好现金。 ATM 和刷卡机是最先停用的,也是最后恢复的。

Getting around in bad weather

The trains are your best bet. LRT and MRT keep running through most rain when the roads are gridlocked or flooded — though they crowd hard and can suspend at the highest signals.
Grab and taxis surge and vanish the moment heavy rain starts. Book early, or you will not get a car.
Avoid the known flood roads. A flooded underpass or low street can strand you for hours; the long way round on higher ground is faster.
For NAIA, leave far earlier than usual in the wet season. Flights are cancelled late, but flooded roads to the airport are the more common problem.

风暴来临前,按以下顺序: cash out, charge up, fill water. Then two days of food. Move the car to higher ground if you are in a flood area, and tell someone where you are. Everything else can wait.
