For historical (signals are old) or prevailing (wind speeds are currently affecting the area), use PHhistorical and PHactive, respectively. In identifying if winds are currently prevailing, access the Tropical Cyclone Bulletin PDF and visit the "Hazards affecting land areas" section. If there are comments indicating that the system is unlikely or not currently affecting the country's weather condition, signals are currently not prevailing.
