After the devastation caused by super typhoon Haiyan, also known as Yolanda in the Southeast Asian country, a tropical cyclone is said to enter the Philippines within the next 24 hours.

The state weather bureau told SunStar, a local publication in the Philippines, that there will be thunderstorms in the coming days and that there is a possibility that it will become a tropical cyclone in 24 hours.

Residents salvage items from a shop after super Typhoon Haiyan battered Tacloban city, central Philippines November 10, 2013. One of the most powerful storms ever recorded killed at least 10,000 people in the central Philippines, a senior police official said on Sunday, with huge waves sweeping away entire coastal villages and devastating the region's main city. Super typhoon Haiyan destroyed about 70 to 80 percent of the area in its path as it tore through Leyte province on Friday, said police chief superintendent Elmer Soria. As rescue workers struggled to reach ravaged villages along the coast, where the death toll is as yet unknown, survivors foraged for food as supplies dwindled or searched for lost loved ones.

Samuel Duran of PAGASA, the country's weather bureau said that that they are monitoring what might develop as a tropical cyclone. Duran added that if it develops into a storm, it will be affecting the same areas ravaged by Haiyan.

According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, there is a possibility that another typhoon is to hit the Asian country. Japan on the other hand has upgraded the said disturbance to a tropical depression.

Haiyan reportedly took an estimated 10, 000 lives in the central part of the Philippines particularly in the province of Leyte. After the typhoon, sources say, looting began in Tacloban, Leyte's business hub.

The Philippines is used to getting typhoons, but Haiyan is the strongest recorded according to experts. Disaster preparedness expert Ralph Atienza-Mckenzie said, "Even if the Philippines is prone to typhoons, most structures are made out of light materials which in cases like Haiyan, these structures don't give adequate protection."

Analysts say that if more storms are to approach the country, it will be very difficult for the government to deal with the calamity.

"It all boils down to foresight" and that people in the Philippines "should always be prepared," added Atienza-Mckenzie. Read more about disaster preparedness or what an unprepared household should do during calamities.

According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, there are around 19 storms or cyclones that enter the Philippines every year. Out of the 19, the center says nine make landfall.

The Philippine Islands are one of the most exposed places in the world when it comes to tropical cyclones or storms. Such weather disturbances have affected the patterns of settlements in the country.
