Online PAGASA Weather Forecast for the Rainy Season

This year's Rainy Season began at the same time as the 2012 School Year. The month of June was welcomed by Typhoon Ambo, which did not made a landfall. PAGASA said that we can expect more typhoons to come.

Typhoons and the resulting floods make parents worried for the safety of their children. How will they know if there is typhoon? How will they know if the rain will bring floods? How will they know if the classes were suspended?

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) knows these worries of parents that is why they created  the online PAGASA Weather Forecast. This service of the weather agency provides round the clock updates of the weather condition within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

The online PAGASA Weather Forecast shows the map forecast for air pressure and wind directions within PAR. The latest satellite image for the Philippines is likewise shown by the PAGASA weather forecast.
