It is start in a simple low pressure and the goes to be a tropical cyclone. Typhoon is not a simple rain but with a strong wind that can destroy houses, building, and nature. It is evaluated by signals 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on… which determined how strong it is. The PAG-ASA is the office that have a complete instrument to measure the typhoon and they are also responsible to communicate people what is the latest news about typhoons. And also, they are already given the name of the typhoon when it is now on the Philippines area of responsibility.

Typhoon is consider by the signal that announced by PAG-ASA so that the people can be ready and prepared if the typhoon heats their places. Signal #1, were the class in Elementary above is already suspended and it is tells to people to be prepared already. Next, Signal #2, were High School and Colleges are being suspended also for them to go home early and it is quit strong. Now, the third is Signal #3-4, were is very dangerous.
