The Philippines is upgrading its weather forecasting system with the help of a grant from Australia. The system is hoped to help the country better prepare for natural hazards.

The Tropical Cyclone Early Warning System, which will be used by Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa), was developed with support from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

"As a regional neighbour and key development partner, Australia is helping improve the Philippines’ preparedness to manage and respond to disasters and emergencies" said Australian Ambassador to the Philippines, Rod Smith.
