QUEZON City, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecasters are expecting seven to 14 tropical cyclones to enter the country’s area of responsibility or form over Philippine waters from May to November.
On average, the country sees 19 to 20 tropical cyclones.
According to Anthony Lucero, the county has recently experienced fewer tropical cyclones due to the lingering effect of El Niño phenomenon.
While rains may already persist, PAGASA noted that warmer than average temperature is expected from May to October. (Eagle News)
