Typhoon season basics
When tropical cyclones affect the Philippines and how to stay prepared.
The Philippines lies in the western Pacific typhoon belt. Tropical cyclones — locally called bagyo — are most frequent from June through November, though storms can form outside that window.
Each year PAGASA assigns local names to tropical cyclones that enter or form inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Storm tracks and intensities change quickly; a 14-day forecast helps with general planning, while official bulletins carry authoritative track and signal information.
Before and during a storm, monitor PAGASA advisories and your local government. On panahon.ph you can check the 14-day outlook and rain radar for your city to see approaching rain bands — useful context, not a substitute for official warnings.
