Rounds of tropical downpours threaten to cause flooding across the Philippines this week with the danger also spreading to Vietnam.
Despite struggling to develop into a tropical cyclone as it passed Guam and moved across the Philippine Sea, Tropical Depression 21W formed just off the coast of the southern Philippines on Wednesday.
The downpours will spread in an east-to-west fashion across the nation's Visayas Islands, Mindanao and southern Luzon, dropping a general 50 to 100 mm (2 to 4 inches).
Such rain could trigger localized flash flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
Cities in the path of the tropical low's drenching rain include Tabaco, Tacloban, Dumaquete and Iloilo. The capital city of Manila will escape the majority of the downpours.
