Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, September 16) — Another tropical cyclone will likely enter the country’s monitoring area this month, the state weather bureau said on Thursday.
Two typhoons, Jolina and Kiko, hit the country this month, unleashing intense rainfall and damaging winds in many areas.
“Posible pa rin po tayong magkaroon ng isang bagyo pa this September,” weather forecaster Ana Clauren of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration told CNN Philippines’ New Day.
[Translation: It is possible that we would have one more cyclone this September.]
She also said PAGASA is monitoring a low-pressure area last spotted near Guiuan, Eastern Samar, but the LPA is “less likely” to develop into a tropical depression.
The LPA and the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone are expected to bring rains in Bicol Region, Visayas and Mindanao. The rest of Luzon will have “generally fair weather” with chances of isolated rains in the afternoon or evening, she added.
