MANILA, Philippines — No tropical cyclone is likely to occur within the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) for the rest of the week, state meteorologists said on Monday. (Possibly for this week, there is a small chance that we will have a tropical cyclone that will form or enter the Philippine area of responsibility.) To date, the country has yet to have a tropical cyclone occurring inside the country’s PAR. Should it occur this March, Pagasa said the tropical cyclone would be named “Agaton.”READ: Pagasa: PH expecting 1 tropical cyclone this MarchADVERTISEMENTPagasa data showed that March — along with February — recorded the least frequent occurrence of tropical cyclones, with an average of 0.3 from 1948 to 2023.
