I started a new thread b/c I think this deserves its own headline.
This system will not give the nrn Philippines a break. Baguio (WMO 98328) had
855 mm in several days with 260 mm falling on the 6th (ending 07/00z) and
an amazing 531 mm for the 24 hrs ending 04/00z. Its elevation of 1501m is
surely enhancing these excessive rain totals.
Ending 08/00z for 24 hr total...276mm.

Ending 09/00z for 24 hr total...685 mm!!

20136 5//// 55000 56999 58008 76850 88611 555 20422=
So the total since 02/00z has been 1815 mm (71.46")!!!
First I thought this may be in error, but given where Parma tracked in the
past 24 hr (center close to the city it appeared on satellite), weak TC's
notorious for mega nocturnal rainfalls near the center, and the upslope flow,
I think it is believable. Looking at the 6 hr synops, it seems plausible.

They did not send an 18z report, but looking at the hourly synop from 13 to 17z, it was +RA reported
for present wx the entire time.
Baguio is on the w-cntrl part of Luzon, and is not just some small town either, it is a city of 300,000 ppl!

Given Parma drifted down from the N, the moist easterly upslope flow must have been incredible!
I know this pales in comparison to the 24 hr 2540 mm (100") totals in
Taiwan from a TC earlier this season, but wasn't that at a remote station
and at a higher elevation?
