At least eight more typhoons are expected to enter the Philippines before the year ends, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.
“We expected about eight to 11 more typhoons to enter the Philippine area of responsibility,” PAGASA deputy administrator Dr. Nathaniel Servando said in a media forum.
Servando stressed the strongest typhoons are expected to hit the country by September and October this year.
He added that at least two storms may bring rains over Angat Dam in Bulacan, which is the main source of Metro Manila’s portable water.
Meanwhile, the weather bureau said Severe Tropical Storm “Falcon” will bring occasional monsoon rains over the western portions of Luzon and Visayas in the next three days.
