Weather in August .. Stormy

This weather news just in ... let's all be safe.

--------------------
At least three to four cyclones are due to hit the country in August, but only one is likely to be destructive, state weather forecasters said Saturday.

Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) head Prisco Nilo said most of the cyclones would likely pass through Northern Luzon.

"Mga tatlo o apat na bagyo ang inaasahan natin. Isa lang ang malakas na bagyo (We expect three to four cyclones to pass through, but only one will likely be destructive)," Nilo said in an interview on DZRH.

He said the cyclones would be "beneficial" as they would likely bring much-needed rains to farmlands. He added their only hope is that none of the cyclones would make a landfall.

Nilo said the cyclones normally pass through Northern Luzon, where many provinces produce rice and vegetables.

"Kailangan natin ang ulan. Makabubuti sa atin yan, ang agrikultura mabuti talaga yan (We will need the rain for the cyclones to be helpful, especially to our agriculture)," he said. - GMANews.TV
