I went to the site last week, checked for chances of rainfall in Makati. Site said 80% within the next hour, so I left the house bringing my umbrella. A bit skeptical because it was still fair when I left. True enough, when I got to work, there was a heavy downpour. Was so glad I had the umbrella, making the walk from the parking lot less stressful. Thumbs up to the DOST, PAGASA and all other private and govt entities for this.

In the past, all you could get from the weather report was the default line, "scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms."

Lucky us, this is because we have now the doppler radar installed in Subic and Tagaytay. The same kind used by tornado chaser to predict potential tornado cells (miniture nga lang para pwede nila hila-hila). I hope Pagasa or the government acquire more of this for more accurate prediction and install in storm alley like Bicol and Batanes regions.
