The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration has launched the PanaHON mobile app to deliver timely weather alerts to users.
The state weather bureau introduced the PAGASA National Hydro-Meteorological Observing Network app during Typhoon and Flood Awareness Week. The app provides an interactive map with near real-time weather data along with hydrometeorological information.
Users can receive notifications for tropical cyclone bulletins, thunderstorm and heavy rainfall warnings, and flood advisories. Location access allows alerts relevant to areas of interest, while hourly forecasts and a five-day outlook are also available.
PAGASA confirmed the app complies with the Data Privacy Act. It is available for free download on Android via the Google Play Store and on iOS via the Apple App Store.
