Dry season expected to start this week

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration expects the dry season to start this week. PAGASA weather specialist Grace Castañeda said cloudy skies with isolated rains will continue for now.

MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said yesterday that the dry season is expected to start this week. PAGASA weather specialist Grace Castañeda noted that the country will continue to see cloudy skies with some isolated rains from time to time. The weather bureau may also announce the end of the northeast monsoon, or amihan season. “We are expecting that this type of weather will continue in the next few days and within this week we can officially terminate the amihan season and will coincide with the declaration of warm and dry season,” she said. PAGASA is currently not monitoring any low-pressure area subject for tropical cyclone formation.

El Niño conditions are now present in the tropical Pacific, with an 80 percent probability of developing into a full-blown event persisting until early 2027, the state weather bureau said.

The South African Weather Service has updated its forecast to predict below-normal rainfall in the southwestern and southern coastal parts during winter until August. This drier outlook raises concerns for the winter wheat crop amid rising fuel and fertiliser prices linked to the Iran conflict. Eastern coastal areas may see above-normal rain, heightening flood risks.
