Spotted cumulus clouds. Convection over Paracelis but very light drizzle over Cabatuan that stopped often. Around 11 PM, consistent heavy rainfall. All photos below (May 15) May 16 Woke up to a wet surroundings. Canal filled with water. Pools on the road. Dark skies with the brightening east.  Photos below. Favorable conditions brought by the trough in the North. May 16 afternoon and early evening with distant thunderstorm and lightning. Heavy rain at 6:00 PM that lasted until 9:00 PM.

May 13 Morning was cooler, probably because of the rain the other night.  Cloudy the whole day but no big convections popping up over the mountains. Light drizzle around 8 pm that lasted for a minute. May 14 Warm and humid the whole day but less hot than the past few days.  Convection around Santiago-Nueva Vizcaya boundary. Lightning and thunder around 7 PM followed by 20 minute light to heavy rain. Currently raining at 8:12 PM again. Uploaded videos on Threads.

Dry for the past 16 days. No rain. For those days, only the northern Cagayan areas had popcorn convection. This morning was humid, 30° at 7 am. Two days ago it was 28°. I guessed it would rain today. Correct. Convection occured over Natonin. In my observations, convections that occur around Paracelis would mean rain reaching the valley. Would I be correct? I'll upload videos on my Threads.  Things I learned today: kelvin wave, spring variability See the flooded ground? Dry, compact soil is less absorbent. This is the reason why torrential downpours that happen after long stretches of dry weather cause flooding. The soil is not ready to absorb the water.
