The emergence of four tropical cyclone-like vortices (TCLV) is anticipated to occur in the forthcoming two weeks, as reported by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Friday.
In its bulletin regarding the potential threat of tropical cyclones, which assesses the possibility of cyclone formation within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), PAGASA indicated that the initial two TCLVs are expected to develop between August 15 and 21.
TCLV 1 is likely to form near Eastern Luzon and is forecasted to move into eastern Taiwan, while TCLV 2 may arise over the West Philippine Sea and is anticipated to head toward the Hainan-Vietnam region.
The next two TCLVs are expected to develop between August 22 and 28, with TCLV 3 likely emerging over the eastern limits of the PAR and Tropical Cyclone Advisory Domain (TCAD).
TCLV 4 is predicted to form over the northwestern boundary of PAR and is expected to move toward the Hainan-Vietnam vicinity.
In light of these predictions, PAGASA has elevated the tropical cyclone threat potential starting Friday until the following Thursday. – Edg Adrian A. Eva
