PAGASA: 2 to 3 tropical cyclones likely to hit PH in July

Around two to three tropical cyclones are expected to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility in July, according to state weather bureau PAGASA.

Weather Specialist Glaiza Escullar told Super Radyo dzBB that the same number of tropical cyclones are expected in August,  September, and October.

“Ang ine-expect natin, dahil nasa  neutral condition na tayo, ay nasa two or three na bagyo ang inaasahang  papasok ng Hunyo. Ganoon din sa buwan ng Agosto, Setyembre at Oktubre,”  Escullar said.

Escullar also said that one to two tropical cyclones would affect the country from November to December.

PAGASA had said a weak La Niña was expected sometime between September and November, instead of August to October, due to uncertain ocean conditions.

PAGASA declared the start of the rainy season on May 29 and the end of the El  Niño phenomenon on June 7. — DVM, GMA Integrated News
