PAGASA: Tropical cyclone developed in northern monitoring domain; no effects on PH
State weather bureau PAGASA on Friday said a tropical cyclone has developed in the northern part of the agency's monitoring domain. However, PAGASA said the tropical cyclone has no direct effect on the Philippines and is expected to move towards southern Japan. 'Sa kasalukuyan, isang bagyo ang nabuo sa hilagang parte ng PAGASA monitoring domain (PMD) ngunit wala itong direktang epekto sa bansa at kikilos patungong southern Japan,' PAGASA said. (Currently, a tropical cyclone has formed in the northern part of the PAGASA monitoring domain (PMD) but it will not have a direct impact on the country and will move towards southern Japan.) Meanwhile, PAGASA said that from August 8 to 14, a tropical cyclone-like vortex (TCLV1) may enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) but it has a low chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. 'Dahil dito, nababa ang tropical cyclone threat potential sa loob ng forecast period,' PAGASA said. (Because of this, the tropical cyclone threat potential is decreasing within the forecast period.) — BAP, GMA Integrated News
