WEATHER ADVISORY
□ General information on tropical cyclone or other
severe weather systems such as the southwest
monsoon, Low Pressure Area (LPA) and other weather
system that will cause floods/flashfloods and
landslides
□ For monsoons, low pressure area and other
severe weather systems, it describes the expected
weather condition in affected areas and its duration
Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA)
WEATHER ADVISORY
□ For tropical cyclones that does not pose threat to any
part of the country for the next 3 to 4 days, it provides
additional details such as the maximum sustained
winds, movement and forecast positions in the next
72 hours.
□ Issued once a day - 11:00 AM unless significant
changes occurred in the weather scenario.

SEVERE WEATHER BULLETIN
• TROPICAL CYCLONE ALERT
 A tropical cyclone either enters or develops in the PAR and
has an impending threat to any part of the country.
 No public storm warning signal is in effect in any part of the
country.
 Its content is similar to an advisory, however, the frequency of
issuance of the alert bulletin shall be twice a day, at 11 AM
and 11 PM.

Tropical Cyclone Warning
□
Upgraded from tropical cyclone alert
□ Necessary to put in effect public storm warning signal number one
over certain areas of the country
□ Tropical cyclone has a real threat to some communities, provinces
or regions in the country
□ The frequency of issuance is every six hours, at 5AM, 11AM, 5PM,
and 11PM.
