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.
From March to May, DOST-PAGASA will issue Heat Index monitoring and forecast information which can be accessed online thru: https://bagong.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/climate-heat-index.
ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS
La Niña is expected t weaken in MJJ season but may persist with a 50-55% chance of La Niña to continue thereafter.
IN AREAS AFFECTED BY LA NIÑA
La Niña may cause flooding in low-lying farm areas which increases crop pests and diseases. Wet weather promotes fungal development and can cause damage to stored farm products. Run-off water can be stored in ponds for future use when the weather becomes dry.
IN AREAS AFFECTED INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE, THUNDERSTORMS, AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS
Be alert and extra careful to those living in low lying areas and near mountain slopes due to possible flooding and landslides; During moderate to heavy rains, farmers are reminded to do cover cropping, land terracing and waterway de-clogging activities. This is to prevent soil erosion and provide humus, regulate water, reduce weed, increase biodiversity and improve farming as a whole. Continuous wet weather promotes fungal development and can cause damage to stored farm products, reduce the quality, viability and market price of the grains. Thus, it is advised to keep barns and crop storage rooms to be in good, dry and well-ventilated condition. Clean creeks, canals and ditches; store harvested crops in elevated, well-ventilated and covered places. Water impounding is advisable during heavy rains for future use.
GALE WARNING
No gale warning issued.
Coastal Water Condition
Slight to moderate seas will prevail over the whole archipelago. Still be reminded to be very careful in going out fishing especially those using small sea craft. Always bring emergency kit. Be updated for the latest weather update and farm advisories from DOST- PAGASA
