Rainfall and tropical cyclones are still expected as the country experiences the El Niño phenomenon, an official of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said.

Tuesday was the hottest day ever recorded as the global average temperature leaped to a record high for the second day in a row, according to preliminary readings by U.S. meteorologists published Wednesday.

Rain showers will dampen most areas in Mindanao and the Visayas due to the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) affecting southern Mindanao and the easterlies affecting the Visayas and Mindanao, the weather bureau said Thursday, July 6.

Most parts of the country will experience fair weather with isolated rain showers on Monday, July 3, the weather bureau said.

A huge part of Luzon will experience rain showers caused by the southwest monsoon or habagat on Thursday, June 29, according to the weather bureau.

No more tropical cyclones are expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) for the rest of the month, the state weather bureau said Wednesday, June 28.
