Satellite image from Pagasa February 19, 2021 TYPHOONS are no new thing in the Philippines. Every year, an average of 20 tropical cyclones enter the country s area of responsibility, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
This early, Filipinos are bracing for Auring, the first tropical cyclone to have entered the country s territory this 2021.
1. Auring weakened into tropical storm
Pagasa said Friday morning, February 19, that Auring has intensified into a Severe Tropical Storm as it moved westward. The cyclone, however, weakened into a tropical storm at 2 p.m. Friday.
The weather bureau said, though, that possible re-intensification into severe tropical storm is still likely prior to landfall.
