This is the dramatic moment locals waded through flooded streets in the Philippines following heavy rain.

Footage captured by Jojo Clemente shows a heavily inundated road along Adriatico Street in Manila on July 21, with commuters navigating through the deluge.

Several parked motorbikes and cars were partially submerged in the area.

The flooding came as Typhoon Wipha barreled through northern Philippines before heading to the South China Sea. The storm left three people dead and affected hundreds of thousands before moving on to Vietnam and neighbouring countries.

On July 19, a tourist boat was capsized by the freak weather in Vietnam, leaving dozens of passengers dead. The vessel reportedly overturned after being hit by choppy waves and heavy rain off the coast of Ha Long Bay shortly after 2 pm local time.

Wipha weakened into a tropical storm after making landfall in China on July 20.
