“But the heavy rains are gone,” said Oscar Tabada, director for the Visayas of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Agency (Pagasa).
“New Year’s Day will be sunny,” he said.
Tabada said Seniang’s rains skipped Metro Cebu, but poured volumes of water in in southern Cebu.
