‘Hanna’ exits towards Vietnam

Tropical Depression “Hanna” Sunday swirled out of the country for Vietnam, but would continue to induce the southwest monsoon to bring light rains over the western section of northern Luzon.

Hannah exited the Philippine area of responsibility at around noon Sunday after triggering rains over northern and central Luzon, and the western section of southern Luzon and the Visayas.

Light to moderate rains triggered landslides and spawned floods in areas caught in the path of the depression.

The heaviest total rainfall of 129.8 mm was felt in Subic, Zambales, during a 24-hour period beginning Saturday morning, according to weather forecaster Peter Kindipan Jr. of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
