MANILA, Philippines — A tropical cyclone may develop between December 16 and 22, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Tuesday.
According to Pagasa’s latest tropical cyclone threat potential forecast, the typhoon will possibly affect Southern Luzon and Visayas.
“Inaasahan na sa ikalawang linggo ng forecast period ay may posibleng mabuo na tropical cyclone-like vortex malapit sa southern part ng tropical cyclone advisory domain at posibleng tahakin nito ang direksyong papuntang Visayas at Southern Luzon area,” the state weather bureau said.
(It is expected that in the second week of the forecast period, a tropical cyclone-like vortex may form near the southern part of the tropical cyclone advisory domain and could potentially move toward the Visayas and Southern Luzon areas.)

However, Pagasa noted that this may still change since the forecast dates are far off.

The state weather agency added that the likelihood of a tropical cyclone developing remains low to moderate as of Tuesday, December 10.
“Sa ngayon, pinapakita naman na low to moderate likelihood,” Pagasa said.
(Currently, the likelihood is low to moderate.)
Should a new tropical cyclone form within the next few days, it will be the 17th to hit the Philippines this year and will be named “Querubin,” according to Pagasa.
In a separate bulletin, Pagasa said the combined effects of the shear line, northeast monsoon, and intertropical convergence zone will continue to bring cloudy skies and rain to many parts of the country on Tuesday.
