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.

A report from NOAA's Climate Prediction Center states that the rains marking early 2026 in Colombia will continue at least until April, driven by La Niña's shift to a neutral phase. Experts warn of precipitation 41.6% more intense than in March 2025, per Ideam. In the second half of the year, there is a 50-60% chance of El Niño returning, potentially decreasing rains and raising temperatures.
