MANILA, Philippines — This December, the country is forecast for a pair of tropical cyclones – but not this weekend. That’s according to the state weather bureau’s latest report on Friday.
“Sa susunod na tatlong araw ay wala tayong inaasahang bagyo na maaaring pumasok o mabuo sa ating area of responsibility,” said Raymond Ordinario, weather specialist of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
(For the next three days, we don’t expect tropical cyclones to enter or form in our area of responsibility.)
“Kaya wala tayong inaasahang na mga malawakang pag-ulan ngayong darating na weekend,” Ordinario added.
(That’s why we don’t expect widespread rains in the coming weekend.)
