The occurrence of scattered rain showers, frequent thunderstorms, the passage of Typhoon Aghon, and the southwest monsoon (habagat) over the past few days have brought significant rains over the western sections of Luzon and Visayas signifying the start of the rainy season in the country.

Moreover, the high chance of La Niña conditions to develop by the July-August-September period increases the likelihood of above-normal rainfall conditions in some areas of the country, especially towards the end of the year.

On the other hand, there may be breaks in rainfall that extend over a few days or weeks, also referred to as “monsoon breaks”.

PAGASA will continue to monitor the weather and climate situation of the country.

The public and all concerned agencies are advised to take precautionary measures against the adverse impacts of the rainy season, Habagat, and the impending La Niña such as floods and rain-induced landslides. (PR)
