MANILA, Philippines — Typhoon Odette (Rai) could be the last tropical cyclone to hit the Philippines in 2021. Tropical cyclone formation in the Philippine area of responsibility is less likely in the next five days, the state weather bureau said Sunday. Its volume of rainfall was more than Supertyphoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in 2013, the strongest typhoon in the Philippines, which had almost the same path as Odette. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have fair weather and chances of isolated light rains. It will be rainy in Southern Luzon and Visayas in the coming days due to the presence of a shear line.
