A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that forms in the western Pacific Ocean. The Philippines experiences an average of 20 typhoons per year, with the peak season running from June to November. Typhoons are classified by PAGASA using a storm signal system from Signal 1 (minimal threat) to Signal 5 (catastrophic).
PAR is the area of the western Pacific Ocean where PAGASA monitors and names tropical cyclones that may affect the Philippines. It covers approximately 1,790 km from east to west and 1,500 km from north to south. Tropical cyclones are assigned Filipino names when they enter PAR.
Storm surge is an abnormal rise in sea level driven by a typhoon's winds and low atmospheric pressure. It is the deadliest typhoon hazard in the Philippines. The 2013 Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) produced a storm surge of up to 7 metres in Tacloban City. Even relatively weak typhoons can produce dangerous storm surges in low-lying coastal areas.
