NAGSIMULA nang maglabas ng El Niño Advisory ang Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) kung saan sinabi nito na nararanasan na ang mahinang dry spell.
Idinagdag ng PAGASA na inaasahang lalakas pa ang El Niño sa susunod na mga buwan.
“El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall conditions, which could bring negative impacts (such as dry spells and droughts) in some areas of the country which may adversely impact the different climate-sensitive sectors such as water resources, agriculture, energy, health and public safety,” sabi ng PAGASA.
Ayon sa PAGASA na naranasan na ang below to near normal rainfall conditions sa maraming lugar sa bansa maliban sa La Union, Batanes, southern Palawan, Bohol, Southern Leyte, Camiguin, Agusan del Sur at Davao Region, na nakapatala ng above normal rainfall.
“Rainfall assessment for the past three months signified that Isabela and Tarlac have experienced dry condition (2 consecutive months of below normal rainfall condition) while Apayao, Kalinga and Cagayan have experienced dry spell (3 consecutive months of below normal rainfall condition). Generally, near-average to above-average mean surface air temperatures were observed in most parts of the country except in Ilocos Sur, Coron and General Santos where slightly cooler than average air temperatures were experienced,” ayon pa sa weather bureau.
