π¨π« ππππ’ππ’π¨π§ππ₯ ππ§ππ¨π«π¦πππ’π¨π§: The key difference between a ππππ―π² πππ’π§πππ₯π₯ πππ«π§π’π§π and a πππππ‘ππ« πππ―π’π¬π¨π«π² lies in their forecast period, coverage areas, and accuracy. A ππππ―π² πππ’π§πππ₯π₯ πππ«π§π’π§π provides forecasts for the next three hours and applies up to the municipal level. It is more precise as it utilizes Doppler radar technology to track real-time rainfall intensity, making it highly effective for immediate decision-making in flood-prone areas. A πππππ‘ππ« πππ―π’π¬π¨π«π², on the other hand, covers a 24-hour period but is issued only at the provincial level. It provides a broader outlook on potential weather disturbances but lacks the short-term accuracy of ππππ―π² πππ’π§πππ₯π₯ πππ«π§π’π§π π¬. For class suspensions or other official decisions, please refer to ππππ―π² πππ’π§πππ₯π₯ πππ«π§π’π§π π¬ issued by the respective PAGASA Regional Services Divisions.
