Volcano watching

Just arrived here in Legazpi City, Albay for a supposed Mayon volcano watch. Heard through the news that lava is already trickling down the mountain and is said to erupt within a month’s time. Unfortunately, weather’s not that good:

At 2:00 p.m. today, the Active Low Pressure Area (ALPA) was estimated at 410 kms east of Samar (12.5°N 129.5°E).

Forecast

Southern Luzon and Visayas will experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms becoming widespread rains over Bicol region and Eastern Visayas. The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms.

Darn! However, Arvin, my office mate who’s also here just called and told me that they can see the lava flow at the Daraga church vantage point! That’s encouraging though

Early tomorrow morning, either it will be a trip to the Kapuntukan Hill, Daraga church grounds or between Legazpi and Sto. Domingo.
