Dear Ma'am/Sir,
Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate it po.
My apologies for replying only today. Internet access was difficult to come by from where I am po.
I have already obtained the daily rainfall from the PAGASA Office in Quezon City. Although this is helpful data, I am also in need of the hourly rainfall data for Cagayan de Oro in order to perform flood simulations properly po. The priority would be the hourly data during Tropical Storm Sendong, Typhoon Pablo, and Typhoon Vinta.
Is there no way po to get the hourly data even for just these events po?
Thank you very much once again and I hope for your reply soon.
Yours respectfully,
Alecz
