MANILA (UPDATED) — Around 13 to 18 tropical cyclones are expected to hit the Philippines this year, state weather bureau PAGASA said Thursday.  In a televised briefing, DOST-PAGASA&#x27;s Deputy Administrator for Research and Development Dr. Marcelino Villafuerte II said this is below the average number of typhoons that normally enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility annually.&quot;Ngayong ngayong taon po na ito, according to our projections ang inaasahan po natin ay around 13 to 18. So mas mababa pa rin ito sa average  na 19 to 20 [tropical cyclones],&quot; Villafuerte said.Last year was fewer, with only 11 due to the El Niño phenomenon, he added.While PAGASA already declared the start of the rainy season, Villafuerte said some parts of the country may still experience hot weather in the coming days as the Philippines is still experiencing  the tail end of El Niño.<div><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UOkXdD9okdA?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> </div>&quot;Halimbawa po dito sa eastern section ng Visayas and some areas in Mindanao, even dito sa ating sa Metro Manila. Kung mapapansin natin ngayong araw na ito mainit and then right after about 2:00PM or 3:00PM mainit pa rin po iyon,&quot; Villafuerte explained.&quot;Eventually po sa mainit na kundisyon until early afternoon ay nagdudulot naman ito ng pagkakaroon ng convective clouds and then eventually in the afternoon nagkakaroon  ng mga pag-ulan,&quot; he added.La Niña, on the other hand, is expected to affect the county beginning 3rd quarter of 2024 until the following year.&quot;In the coming months we are expecting na magtatransition siya into a neutral phase, so ibig sabihin walang El Niño at walang La Niña. And then around July, August, September about 69% iyong chance na possibly magsimula na po ang La Nina. So iyong La Niña po usually peaks around the end of the year and then until the following season, next year, at least sa first quarter,&quot; Villafuerte said.

Around 13 to 18 typhoons are expected to hit the Philippines this year, state weather bureau PAGASA said Thursday.
