Super Typhoon Seniang A Prediction by PAGASA Visayas Not a Forecast

The viral post about the incoming super typhoon Seniang was just a prediction by PAGASA and not a forecast. In an earlier report, PAGASA Visayas Director Oscar Tabada warned the public of a possible super typhoon which will be named as Seniang to hit the Visayas Region during the weekend. The supposed super typhoon was the Bagyong Hagupit that devastates some ares of Samar and the Bicol Region.

The prediction of the super typhoon Seniang was originally taken from an article posted by journalist Leo Lastimosa on his Opinion column in The Freeman posted last November 29, 2014.

According to PAGASA Visayas, there is a possibility that the second typhoon following Bagyong Ruby will become a super typhoon. Based upon PAGASA’s forecast in the later part of the year, the usual path of typhoons is the Visayas and Mindanao regions.

Last November 2013, the Visayas Region was devastated by the world’s strongest typhoon to make a landfall, the super typhoon Yolanda, which left a catastrophic damages to lives and properties of the Filipinos.

According to the latest forecast of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, as of this moment there is no sign of a weather disturbance in the Pacific. There is no sign of tropical cyclone developing and we hope that this year will end peacefully and without any calamities.

Just in case there will be a weather disturbance in the Philippines, PAGASA assigned the name “Bagyong Seniang,” to the next typhoon that could probably hit the country, before this year ends.
