Pagasa: Inaasahan ang tropical cyclone ngayong Abril

Inaasahan ng Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) na magfo-forma ng tropical cyclone ngayong buwan ng Abril na maaaring pumasok sa Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) at makapag-landfall sa bansa, ayon kay weather specialist Benison Estareja.

MANILA, Philippines — Ayon sa Pinakabagong climatological track para sa buwan ng Abril, maaaring pumasok sa PAR at makapag-landfall ang isang tropical cyclone, ayon kay Pagasa weather specialist Benison Estareja noong Lunes.

Kung mababa ang entry point, halimbawa sa eastern Mindanao, posibleng mag-landfall ito sa Caraga, Visayas o Mimaropa. Dagdag pa niya, ang ilang tropical cyclones sa east ng Visayas o Bicol region ay magho-hover malapit sa Luzon ngunit hindi magla-landfall at mag-recurve patungo sa labas ng PAR hanggang maging low-pressure area.

Kung magfo-forma ang cyclone na ito, ito ang ikatlong isa at pinangalanan na Caloy. Habang nananatili ang dry season, inaasahan ang pagtaas ng air temperature at heat index.

"During dry season, the heat index is higher than 3 to 7 degrees Celsius especially when the weather is humid and we are having a hard time to cool down," ani Estareja. Madadagdagan din ang frequency ng easterlies at ridge ng high pressure area sa buwan na ito.
