Weather Today – December 6, 2014 | Metro Manila to experience rains as Ruby approaches landmass

Metro Manila is being talked about as one of the areas to be hit by Typhoon Ruby. To disprove this speculation, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) revealed Typhoon Ruby’s forecast track cone of probability.

Based on this, Typhoon Ruby is expected to traverse the areas from Samar to Romblon. Though Metro Manila is not part of the forecast track, it is situated near the affected areas and within the 600-kilometer diameter of the typhoon, making it as one of the areas to experience heavy to intense rains.

PAGASA Weather Forecaster Loiz explained that the cone of probability refers to the accuracy of Typhoon Ruby’s movement. The shallower the cone, the more accurate the forecast; the wider the cone, the bigger the chance is for the typhoon to deviate from its original forecast track.
