AFTER 16 typhoons this year, the State Weather Bureau predicted that before the year is over, one or two more tropical cyclones would form or make their way into the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR).
The tropical cyclones Querubin and Romina are the following ones on the list.
The PAR’s five typical tropical storm paths in December were described by PAGASA Weather Specialist Joanne Mae Adelino.
She underlined that typhoons typically make landfall, move throughout the nation, and get stronger in the final quarter of the year.
Typhoons can first develop in the western Pacific, then move into the PAR, return to the eastern portion of the PAR without touching down, and finally travel toward Japan.
Second, before making landfall, typhoons may enter the PAR, recurve, and move toward the northeastern part of the PAR before ultimately heading toward Japan.
Third, after leaving the continent, typhoons may continue westward toward Hong Kong after making landfall in Northern or Central Luzon.
Fourth, the typhoons can proceed westward into Vietnam after making landfall in Northern Visayas or Southern Luzon.
Fifth, typhoons may travel westward into Thailand after making landfall in Northern Mindanao or Southern Visayas.
As stated by Adelino, a tropical cyclone is projected to develop on the first Sunday but might also occur on the second Sunday due to a low to moderate tropical likelihood.
According to the weather bureau’s tropical cyclone danger potential projection for November 20 to December 3, a cyclone-like circulation or vortex might develop into a tropical storm.
