The Tropical Cyclone Preliminary Report is a brief technical report that provides an overview of key meteorological facts and warning-related information of a particular tropical cyclone based mainly on publicly issued bulletins, advisories, and warnings and the result of the near-real time (initial) best track analysis. As such, the information provided in this report is considered preliminary only and will be superseded by the information that will become available once the Annual Report on Philippine Tropical Cyclones (ARTC) is released.

A Preliminary Report is published by PAGASA's tropical cyclone meteorologists within one week after the dissipation of a particular tropical cyclone. Once superseded by a corresponding ARTC, a preliminary report is removed from this webpage.
