Rating: FALSE
Why we fact-checked this: The video containing the claim was posted by a YouTube channel with 68,000 subscribers on August 26. As of this writing, the video has more than 2,600 views.
The title of the video says, “Super Typhoon Enteng, sobrang bagsik! Signal no. 4 | Latest weather update! Aug. 26, 2024.” (Super Typhoon Enteng is so strong! Signal. No. 4 | Latest weather update! Aug. 26, 2024.)
The thumbnail of the video contains the claim too.
The facts: Based on the weather forecast issued by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) at 4 pm on August 26, there are no tropical cyclones being monitored within the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR). A super typhoon is the strongest kind of tropical cyclone.
Meanwhile, the rest of Luzon have localized thunderstorms.
Outside PAR: The video used the audio from PAGASA’s 4 am weather forecast on August 26. Nowhere in this forecast did PAGASA Weather Specialist Obet Badrina report that there was a super typhoon, or any other kind of tropical cyclone, inside PAR.
Badrina added that based on current data, PAGASA does not see any tropical cyclone developing inside or entering PAR in the next few days. There are no low pressure areas being monitored.
The country’s last tropical cyclone was Tropical Storm Dindo (Jongdari), which left PAR on August 19.
