Signals
Public Storm Warning Signals are raised to warn the public of incoming weather
disturbances. Once a Storm Signal is raised, conditions are not yet necessarily felt in
the given area. The following are the lead times for issuing a Public Storm Signal:
Lead time shortens if a new weather bulletin is issued and the area’s Public Storm
Signal Warning remains the same.
As the weather disturbance moves through the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR),
Public Storm Signals may be upgraded or downgraded.
An area’s given signal number is based on the intensity, size of circulation and the
forecast direction, and speed of the tropical storm or typhoon when the Public Storm
Warning Signal is raised. Changes in intensity, size of circulation, or movement of the
tropical cyclone also determines the change of the Public Storm Warning Signal in a
given area.

number may be upgraded.
