The warm and dry season has started as the cold weather associated with the northeast monsoon or “amihan” season ended, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) announced last March 21. ManilaBulletin
But it’s not called “summer,” a PAGASA weather specialist emphasized days before the announcement of the official start of the season. The Philippines has only two seasons — the rainy season, from June to November, and the dry season, from December to May. The term summer is used in countries that experience four seasons, namely winter, spring, autumn, and summer, the weather specialist explained.
“The public is advised to take precautionary measures to minimize heat stress and optimize the daily use of water for personal and domestic consumption,” PAGASA said. NAIA in Pasay City, Masbate City and Dipolog in Zamboanga del Norte registered 42 degrees Celsius heat index. This action is more urgent today because of climate change and the need for all of humanity to do its share to help keep the world from getting warmer.
