PANaHON: PAGASA upgrades weather tracker amid rainy season
State weather bureau PAGASA has upgraded its interactive weather tracker for more accuracy and accessibility.
The PAGASA National Hydro-Met Observing Network (PANaHON) shows near real-time information from PAGASA's weather stations across the country, displaying details on rainfall, temperature, humidity, and wind.
It also provides weather forecasts using data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
Launched on Monday, PANaHON's enhancements feature gridded forecast integration, offering improved spatial accuracy for rainfall accumulation, temperature, wind, and pressure.
Users can now utilize its clickable grid points, time slider, and location-based search functions in navigating the interactive map.
All regional warnings are consolidated into a centralized alert system labeled in color-coded markers with hazard information, making critical weather advisories more accessible.
Using PANaHON, users can check current and forecasted weather conditions.
It can also help with early warnings and better decision-making during weather-related events.
'These upgrades aim to improve public access to accurate weather information and support local planning, risk reduction, and disaster preparedness efforts nationwide,' PAGASA said in a statement. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News
