According to the state weather bureau, PAGASA, two tropical cyclones are expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) in the coming days.

PAGASA Administrator Undersecretary Vicente Malano stated at a Laging Handa social briefing that no tropical cyclone was scheduled to begin PAR in the next three days.

However, two tropical cyclones are expected to make landfall in the country after all those three days.

“Ayon po sa ating mga datos na nakikita sa ngayon, wala po tayong nakikitang mga sama ng panahon o bagyo sa susunod na tatlong araw. Mayroon tayong inaasahan, after three days… may mangyayari na inaasahan po natin na may bagyo, tropical cyclone na papasok sa ating Philippine Area of Responsibility,” Malano stated.

(We don’t see any tropical cyclone entering the country in the next three days. We are, however, expecting that after three days, a tropical cyclone will enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility.)

“Ang characteristics po nitong dalawang bagyo na nakikita po natin ay kamukha po ng nakaraang dalawang bagyo na pumasok dito sa Philippine Area of Responsibility itong si Caloy at Domeng na si Domeng papuntang Norte at ‘yung isa namin nanggaling sa West Philippine Sea at pumunta po siya ng China area,” he added.

The categories of these two tropical cyclones are related to those of recent weather disturbances Caloy and Domeng. (Domeng was heading towards the northern part of the country, while the other was heading towards China.) It projected partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms in Metro Manila and the rest of the country.
