MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): The volume of rainfall brought by Typhoon “Odette” (international name: Rai) was more than what was dumped in 2013 by Supertyphoon “Yolanda” (Haiyan), which hit almost the same regions.

Odette, which battered regions in the Visayas and Mindanao and some parts of southern Luzon while making landfall nine times during its passage, brought accumulated rainfall of 272.1 millimeters (mm), according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
