Four Tropical Cyclone-Like Vortices May Form Until Next Week, Says PAGASA
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced that four tropical cyclone-like vortices (TCLVs) are likely to form within the next week, with one potentially developing into a tropical cyclone. Two existing tropical cyclones are outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, while new vortices require monitoring despite low development probabilities. The threat of tropical cyclones is expected to persist for the next two weeks.
Four tropical cyclone-like vortices (TCLVs) are likely to form until next week, with one of them possibly intensifying into a tropical cyclone, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). In a tropical cyclone threat potential (TCLV) released Thursday, tropical storms Korvanh, formerly locally known as Pilandok, and Saudel, formerly Obet, will continue to persist and be monitored from today until Sept. 9, referred to as week 1. Both tropical cyclones, which are currently affecting the southwest monsoon, are already outside the Philippines Area of Responsibility (PAR). During the same period, TCLV 1 may emerge over the northeastern part of PAR, with a low chance of developing into a tropical cyclone, PAGASA said. By week 2, which covers Sept. 10 to 16, another three TCLVs are likely to develop within the PAGASA monitoring domain (PMD), one of which has a chance of developing into a tropical cyclone. TCLV 2 is likely to occur over the eastern portion of the tropical cyclone advisory domain (TCAD) and could enter the northeastern portion of PAR. PAGASA said that the weather system has a low to moderate chance of developing into a tropical cyclone. Meanwhile, TCLV 3 will form over the western boundary of the PMD and TCLV 4 may emerge over the Northeastern portion of the PMD. Both TCLVs have a low chance of storm development. “Therefore, the TC-threat potential remains active over week 1 and likely during week-2,” PAGASA said. The bureau also said that it will closely monitor any changes in the forecast pattern and issue updates if necessary. — Edg Adrian A. Eva Philippines, being in the typhoon belt, frequently experiences severe weather events, especially during the rainy season. These phenomena can cause damage to agricultural lands, infrastructure, and directly impact the lives of its citizens. This forecast serves as a reminder for the public to prepare for upcoming weather conditions.
