Ever got curious about what the names of the tropical cyclones be? Good news for all of you because the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) released the possible names of the tropical cyclones that would possibly hit the country.
How are cyclones named?
This is actually not a big deal. However, these names tend to be because of the fact that a certain cyclone enters the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

PAGASA has four (4) sets of names. These names are being used every for (4) years to match the number of names they have.
Moreover, PAGASA has a list of 20 cyclones. If the number of tropical cyclones exceeds twenty-five (25), PAGASA has an auxiliary list that they will use to suffice the number of cyclones and typhoons.
