Typhoon Names in 2012

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Administration or PAGASA already presented the list of names of the typhoons that will hit the Philippine Area of Responsibility this 2012. The names of the typhoons are arranged alphabetically as it happens after the other. Since its June and the start of the rainy season, we are expecting a wet 2012 considering that an average of 20 storms visit the country every year.

Did you know that:

PAGASA deviates from international typhoon naming standards because it wants to promote better storm recall by using familiar Filipino names. In 2009, instead of typhoon Parma and Ketsana, bagyong Pepeng and Ondoy were used.
