Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Weather Advisory sample The statement of the weather system Time of issuance The content of this weather information is the effect in terms of severity of weather condition over the stated specific areas Statement of the advise to the people in regards with the weather system The statement of the next issuance and updates • Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) TROPICAL CYCLONE WARNINGS/BULLETINS Severe Weather Bulletin • • Tropical Cyclone Alert • Tropical Cyclone Warning • Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) 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. Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) SEVERE WEATHER BULLETIN TROPICAL CYCLONE ALERT SAMPLE Current location of the typhoon, northern Luzon was used as reference point Wind intensity of the typhoon together with its gustiness (bugso) Forecast movement in speed and direction Forecast distance for 24, 48 & 72 hrs. Graphical track of the typhoon, the swat represents deviation of position for 24, 48 & 72 hours Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) SEVERE WEATHER BULLETIN 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.
