Manila Bulletin

September 1, 2025

The sudden flooding that struck parts of Quezon City on Saturday, Aug. 30, was caused by severe thunderstorms that brought unusually heavy rainfall in a short period, PAGASA said.

In a phone interview, PAGASA weather specialist Veronica Torres said, based on rainfall data from the Science Garden monitoring station in Quezon City, a total of 135.6 millimeters (mm) of rain fell between 8 a.m. on Aug. 30 and 8 a.m. on Aug. 31.

The highest rainfall was recorded from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, totaling 116 mm.

The rainfall, classified as “intense to torrential,” caused water levels to rise rapidly, resulting in flash floods in some low-lying and flood-prone areas, Torres explained.
