Last May 2, Pagasa raised an El Niño Alert, forecasting dry conditions nationwide from June to August until early 2024, from El Niño Watch status issued on March 24.
After raising the status to El Niño Alert, weather specialist Junie Ruiz said 31 areas or provinces in most parts of Central and Southern Luzon, Visayas, and most parts of Northern and Eastern Mindanao experienced near to above normal rainfall conditions as of June. During the same period, below-normal and way below-normal rainfall conditions prevailed in 45 provinces nationwide and Bicol Region, respectively.
Among the provinces that experienced below-normal rainfall, five provinces experienced “dry conditions,” and “dry spells” occurred in five other provinces . With El Niño’s looming threat, Ruiz advised locals to start conserving water and local government units to coordinate with concerned government agencies to fix or report water leaks.
