PAG-ASA Rainfall Coding System

New PAGASA Rainfall Warning Signals: Yellow, Orange, Red

PAGASA to use color codes to simplify its Rainfall Warning System.




What does orange rainfall mean? The orange rainfall advisory is raised in areas where rainfall is between 15 mm and 30 mm within one hour. Flooding is a definite threat in communities under the orange alert. A red rainfall advisory is issued when downpours constitute an emergency.

What is a yellow warning for rain?
Yellow: Be aware. Severely bad weather is possible over the next few days and could affect people in the concerned area. Yellow means that you should plan ahead thinking about possible travel delays, or the disruption of your day-to-day activities.

What is a Red Rain Warning? 

Red: EVACUATE due to high potential of danger
