The Philippines' weather agency has debunked a false social media advisory claiming a super typhoon, likened to Haiyan, hit the country on July 18, 2024. The agency confirmed no such typhoon occurred, and the posts were fabricated amidst monsoon rains. The misleading information included a satellite image of Haiyan from 2013, which was misrepresented as current. The agency urged the public to disregard the fake warnings.
