PAGASA to use plain language in weather reports

MANILA, Philippines – The state weather bureau on Thursday said it will act on the President’s statement that the agency should make its weather bulletins more understandable to the layman.
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Administrator Dr. Nathaniel Servando said they are now looking at “simplifying” the weather updates.
Servando said the agency will begin revising its cyclone advisories, starting with avoiding the use of unnecessary technical terms.
“For our part we use the standard technical terms, we have to simplify to be easier to understand by people,” Servando told ANC’s “The World Tonight.”
