Philippine Tropical Cyclone Attendee Guidance
Tropical cyclones normally occur in the Philippines during the months of June to November. Tropical cyclone advisory bulletins and/or warnings are issued by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) whenever a tropical cyclone is within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).
Tropical cyclone bulletins are issued by PAGASA every three hours for all tropical cyclones within this area that are currently affecting the country, six hours when cyclones are anticipated to make landfall within the Philippines, or twelve hours when cyclones are not affecting land.
