Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — The sudden downpour Monday afternoon (June 8) submerged parts of Metro Manila.
As of 6:00 p.m., parts of España Boulevard near De la Fuente and Maceda Streets in Manila were still not passable to light vehicles.
Flood in the eastbound lane was gutter-deep while the westbound lane was half-tire deep.
In Quezon City, areas that have been reported flooded were Tomas Morato corner Scout Castor, Mother Ignacia Avenue, and along EDSA in Quezon Avenue.
More rains
Meanwhile, Metro Manila and many parts of Luzon may experience more rain on Tuesday (June 9) and even on Wednesday (June 10), according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Today’s severe thunderstorms were brought by the intense heat in the morning, with high temperatures likely to happen anew on Tuesday particularly in Tuguegarao.
