PAGASA raises El Niño alert, likely to start June READ MORE:
On April 18, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said the chances for an El Niño between June and August have increased from 55 percent to 80 percent.
El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall conditions, which could have negative impacts, such as dry spells and droughts, in some areas of the country. “When conditions are favorable for the development of El Niño within the next two months at a probability of 70 percent or more, an El Niño alert is issued,” PAGASA said.
The weather bureau’s administrator, Dr. Vicente Malano, said they will continue to closely monitor the development of the ENSO phenomenon.
