Tropical Depression Basyang (Penha) weakened into a low pressure area over the Sulu Sea early on February 7, 2026, and fully dissipated by 8 a.m. This came after five landfalls in Mindanao and the Visayas. Though gone, the shear line and northeast monsoon continue to bring rain to various parts of the country.
Building on earlier forecasts of heavy rains persisting through April, the Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies (Ideam), led by Ghisliane Echeverry, announced the official start of Colombia's first rainy season of 2026, which is set to continue until mid-June. The announcement follows an atypical first quarter with above-normal rainfall across most departments, preventing the customary dry season from December to March.
