PAGASA Says Up to 8 Tropical Cyclones to Form Within PAR in 1st Half of 2026
PAGASA – The weather agency advised the public to stay alert as around eight tropical cyclones may form within PAR during the first half of 2026.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration announced that around two to eight storms may either form or enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility between January and June, based on current forecasts.
The early months of the year are expected to be calmer, with little to no storms from January to April, while May and June may see an increase.
These names were chosen to show the local language, culture, and nature. Storm names are removed from the list when they cause heavy destruction or claim many lives, as a way to honor those affected.
The history reminds many Filipinos why preparation and awareness are important every year.
Cooler temperatures will be felt during the peak of the Amihan season, especially in mountainous areas. As summer approaches, hotter days are expected, with temperatures possibly reaching extreme levels by April and May.
PAGASA
continues to remind everyone to stay informed and prepared as weather conditions change throughout the year.
