EN: to seep in; to splash in (of rain)
The mortal enemy of anyone sitting by the window in a bus or jeepney when it's raining. 'Umampiyas' is when the rain doesn't just fall down, it attacks sideways, getting inside through cracks and windows. It's the reason you have to close the window even if you want fresh air.
Specifically refers to rain being blown into an interior space.
