Philippines sees fewer but more intense storms, weather bureau reports

The Philippines is experiencing fewer storms, but those that do occur are becoming more intense, according to the weather bureau. This trend is attributed to global warming and is expected to continue. Historically, the country averaged 19 to 20 tropical cyclones annually, but this number has decreased. However, the intensity of storms, particularly typhoons and super typhoons, is increasing. The government is working on long-term strategies to address the impacts of climate-related disasters, including flood control and infrastructure projects. Recent storms have caused significant damage and loss of life in various provinces.
