'Nando' is forecast to move generally west southwestward as it interacts with the circulation of 'Maring'. During this period, 'Nando' may likely be assimilated and merged into the circulation of 'Maring'.
Considering the trend of changes in the forecast scenario in previous bulletins and the uncertainty surrounding the interaction and merger event between 'Maring' and 'Nando', there is a moderate to high likelihood that changes may still occur in the track and intensity outlook for this tropical depression in the next bulletin.
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
The tropical depression is unlikely to directly affect the weather condition in the country within the forecast period.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
The tropical depression is unlikely to directly affect the sea conditions over the coastal waters of the country within the forecast period.
TROPICAL CYCLONES
'Nando', the 14th tropical cyclone this year, entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Friday, October 8.
PAGASA predicts that 2–3 tropical cyclones may enter/develop in the PAR this month. On October 4, tropical depression 'Lannie' developed while east of Surigao del Norte and made 10 landfalls across northern Mindanao, the Visayas, and Palawan.
On average, there are 20 tropical cyclones that could form or enter the PAR each year. Only half of those are projected to make landfall.
The weather agency declared the onset of the rainy season on Friday, June 5.
