the philippines sit across the typhoon belt, making dangerous storms from july through october. climate change exacerbates the situation with typhoons in the philippines. typhoons are especially hazardous for northern and eastern luzon and the bicol and eastern visayas regions, but manila gets devastated periodically as well. "bagyo" is the filipino term to any tropical cyclone in the philippine islands. from the statistics gathered by pagasa from 1948 to 2004, around an average of 28 storms and/or typhoons per year enter the par (philippine area of responsibility) – the designated area assigned to pagasa to monitor during weather disturbances. those that made landfall or crossed the philippines, the average was nine per year. in 1993, a record 19 typhoons made landfall in the country making it the most in one year. the fewest per year were 4 during the years 1955, 1958, 1992 and 1997.
