THE Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) has issued a forecast indicating that at least one tropical cyclone is likely to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) during the month of March.
The state weather bureau cautioned that the potential storm could make landfall over the Caraga region or Eastern Visayas, bringing with it the threat of heavy rainfall and strong winds.
According to Pagasa’s projections, the weather disturbance may subsequently traverse parts of the Visayas region before potentially heading towards Palawan.
While the forecast indicates a potential threat, Pagasa clarified that as of the current time, no low-pressure area is being monitored either inside or outside of the PAR. The agency is closely monitoring weather patterns and will provide updates as the situation develops.
Currently, the easterlies are affecting parts of the country, bringing scattered rains to several areas. However, Pagasa noted that most regions, including Metro Manila, have a low chance of experiencing rainfall. Some parts of Southern Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao may experience light to moderate rains due to the influence of the easterlies.
Pagasa advises the public to stay informed about the latest weather updates and take necessary precautions in preparation for the potential arrival of a tropical cyclone.
