A weather bureau has stated that there will be no more tropical cyclone this year (2011).After the deadly storm “Sendong,” no other tropical cyclone is expected to affect the Philippines for the rest of the year, although rains may still prevail over most parts of the country on New Year’s Day, the weather agency said yesterday.

Metro Manila will experience partly cloudy skies with brief light rains. Servando said, “There is a very slim chance of tropical cyclone development in the remaining week of 2011”.

Meanwhile, a low-pressure area spotted in Cotabato City and the tail-end of a cold front will continue to bring rains over portions of the Visayas and Mindanao. A total of 19 cyclones entered the country this year.
