    With the Atlantic cooling down this year, storms should be reducing in intensity. That won't last, as they'll start increasing again next year. It doesn't help that places like Manila, are sinking.

    "Manila Bay seawater is rising 13.24 millimeters per year. Metro Manila is sinking by 10 centimeters annually due to rapid urbanization and extraction of groundwater. "

    Some would say the place could do with a good wash.

    Of course if the residents would learn not to block up the drains with their thrown down litter and general trash.
