The Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal was then renamed "Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal" in 2019 to emphasize that this warning system is based on tropical cyclone wind intensity rather than rains, flash floods and landslides (for which other weather warning systems, particularly the PAGASA Heavy Rainfall Warning System, are already in place). [4] [23]
Beginning November 14, PAGASA issued Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal No. 1 for Catanduanes and Northern Samar as well as parts of Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Samar and Eastern Samar. [14] Over the succeeding days, this was expanded to include an area stretching from Ilocos Norte in northern Luzon to the Dinagat Islands in northeastern Mindanao ...
TCWS #1 winds of 39–61 km/h (21–33 kn; 24–38 mph) are prevailing or expected to occur within 36 hours: TCWS #2 winds of 62–88 km/h (33–48 kn; 39–55 mph) are prevailing or expected to occur within 24 hours

TCWS #4 - Tropical cyclone winds of 118–184 km/h are prevailing or expected within 12 hours. TCWS #5 - Tropical cyclone winds of 185 km/h or greater are prevailing or expected within 12 hours. These wind signals are hoisted when an area (in the Philippines only) is about to be directly affected by tropical cyclone winds.
Typhoon Toraji, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Nika, was a fairly strong tropical cyclone that impacted the Philippines in early November 2024. It was the fourth tropical cyclone in a series to impact the Philippines, following Tropical Storm Trami and Typhoons Kong-rey, Yinxing, Usagi, and Man-yi which had occurred just a few days earlier.
PAGASA issued Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal for various areas, and the DSWD announced it had spent ₱1 billion (US$20.3 million) in response to Usagi and previous storms. As a precaution, two spillways at the Magat Dam were left open, and authorities advised people evacuated due to earlier typhoons not to return home.
The Philippines is a Typhoon (Tropical Cyclone)-prone country, with approximately 20 Tropical Cyclones entering its area of responsibility per year. Locally known generally as bagyo (), [3] typhoons regularly form in the Philippine Sea and less regularly, in the South China Sea, with the months of June to September being the most active, August being the month with the most activity.
