FARMING ADVISORIES

AREAS AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER SYSTEMS HEAT INDEX MONITORING AND FORECASTING (OBSERVED AND 2-DAY FORECAST)
THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS
  • Mulch around plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature.
  • Use soil moisture monitoring to avoid unnecessary irrigation.
  • Inspect irrigation systems regularly to ensure even water distribution and prevent waterlogging.
  • Prune fruit trees and vines to promote healthy growth and better yields.
  • Use organic compost to enrich the soil and improve plant health.
  • Keep farm tools clean to prevent disease transmission between plants.
  • Document weather impacts on crops to improve future planning and climate-resilient practices.
  • Keep updated with local advisories from LGUs and DOST-PAGASA for early warnings.
 The Heat Index is a human discomfort index that gives the apparent temperature on what humans perceive or feel as the temperature (from the surroundings) affecting the body. High air temperature and high relative humidity results to high apparent temperature https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/climate-heat-index

Farmers should strengthen farm structures, maintain efficient drainage systems, and harvest mature or near-mature crops early when prolonged rainfall is expected. Proper drying and storage of produce in covered, elevated, and well-ventilated areas are essential to prevent spoilage, while close monitoring for pests and diseases—especially fungal infections under wet conditions—should be practiced. Continuous coordination with local agriculture offices and regular monitoring of advisories from DOST-PAGASA will support timely decision-making and improve farm resilience

FISHING ADVISORIES

No Gale Warning was raised.

Slight to moderate seas are expected over the whole archipelago. Still be reminded to be very careful in fishing, especially those using small seacraft. Always bring an emergency kit. Be updated for the latest weather updates and farm advisories from DOST- PAGASA.
