During a climate forum, PAGASA weather specialist Joey Figuracion said two to three tropical cyclones may develop in July, followed by two to three in August, two to four in September, two to four in October, two to three in November, and one to two in December.

Only one tropical cyclone has formed so far this year, Tropical Depression Auring, which entered PAR in June.

“Ang mga bagyo sa susunod na mga buwan ay malaki ang tyansa na naglalandfall talaga (There is a high chance that tropical cyclones in the coming months will make landfall),” Figuracion said.
