PAGASA issues cyclone advisory as weather system intensifies outside PAR
Published · Updated
What happened
PAGASA released a tropical cyclone advisory on September 24 for an intensifying system outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility, and GMA News reported early-morning thunderstorm advisories for Bataan and nearby areas.
Why it matters
A cyclone advisory, even before a Philippine landfall warning, can trigger local government preparations, transport and school disruption planning, and prepositioning by response agencies if forecast rainfall areas expand over the next 24 to 72 hours.
PAGASA on September 24 issued a tropical cyclone advisory after a weather system outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility intensified, while separate thunderstorm advisories covered Bataan and nearby areas early in the day. There is no Luzon landfall warning in the snippet, but the advisory changes the operating picture for disaster agencies and local governments because rainfall and wind exposure can widen on short notice. The near-term consequence is a live decision window on prepositioning, class suspensions, and flood-readiness messaging in affected areas.
Watch for
PAGASA 11 a.m. or 5 p.m. bulletin on 2026-09-24 upgrading the system into the PAR or raising Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal coverage for Northern or Central Luzon
