The Philippines is a country regularly hit by tropical cyclones. In 2013, state weather bureau PAGASA revised the four lists of names for such weather disturbances within the Philippine area of responsibility.
Each main list is used every four years. A corresponding auxiliary list will be used in the event that the number of cyclones within a given year exceeds 25. Following is the list for 2015:

ReplyDeleteI was looking for Tropical Cyclones and their names and classifications. Your post helped me a a lot. Thanks for such a good share. Keep posting more articles.
ReplyDeleteThese names are quite interesting. I was in Philippines when ONYOK occurred. I was doing my project management program then.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know that people name tropical cyclones. I am very curious of that and I would like to know what do people do it for?
