DEKAD NO. 21 21 – 31 JULY 2024

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

The weather systems that will likely affect the whole country are the southwest monsoon, easterlies, tropical cyclone (TC), and localized thunderstorms.

During the first half of the dekad, TC “Carina” will bring rains with gusty winds over Batanes, Cagayan, Apayao and Ilocos Norte. As the tropical cyclone, moves closer towards Batanes, stormy weather will be felt over the area. The remaining areas at the western section of Luzon will experience monsoon rains while the rest of Luzon, Negros Island Region, Zamboanga Peninsula, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-tawi, and Western Visayas will have cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms are expected in the remaining areas of the country. Gradual improvement of weather will be felt in areas affected by TC “Carina” as it moves away from the country. On the second half of the forecast period, the southwest monsoon will continue to bring cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms over Ilocos Region, Zambales, and Bataan while the remaining parts of the country will experience good weather condition except for some chances of isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

During the first half of the dekad, southwesterly winds will dominate the entire country. After this, Ilocos Region and the provinces of Zambales and Bataan will continue to experience winds coming from the southwest while the rest of the country will have winds from the south to southeast.

During the first half of the dekad, moderate to rough seas will prevail over Luzon and the eastern seaboard of Visayas while the remaining areas of the archipelago will have slight to moderate seas. After this, as the western and northern seaboards of Luzon continue to have moderate to rough seas, the coastal waters over Visayas, Mindanao and the rest of Luzon are expected to have slight to moderate seas. During the latter days of the forecast period, the entire archipelago will likely experience slight to moderate seas.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: LA NIÑA ALERT
ENSO-neutral conditions are present in the tropical Pacific. However, recent DOST-PAGASA’s climate monitoring and analyses show further cooling of the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) across the central and eastern equatorial Pacific (CEEP). Most climate models combined with expert judgements suggest 70% chance of La Niña forming in August-September-October (ASO) 2024 season and is likely to persist until the first quarter of 2025.
La Niña increases the likelihood of increased convective activity and tropical cyclone occurrence which may bring above-normal rainfall conditions that could lead to potential adverse impacts (such as heavy rainfall, floods, flash floods, and rain-induced landslides) over highly vulnerable areas.
https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/press-release/161
PAGASA will continue to closely monitor the developing La Niña. All government agencies concerned and the general public are encouraged to stay updated and use the information for guidance in taking precautionary measures to mitigate the adverse impacts of these phenomena.

Farm Advisories

Farm Advisories:
Choose flood resistant rice varieties which are suitable in your farm or ask the advice and expertise of your local agriculturist. Livestock/ domesticated animals are susceptible to contract diseases during the rainy periods, so always keep animal shelters clean, dry and well ventilated. Keep the goats/ruminants shut in the barn, well protected from draft and provided with clean solid floor. Give them cut grass or hay to eat to maintain energy and fight against pneumonia.

* 163K kilos of fresh veggies sold in Kadiwa -DA exec
Author: Liza Agoot | 10 July 2024

LA TRINIDAD, Benguet – About 163,000 kilos of assorted fresh vegetables from the Cordillera have so far been sold through the Department of Agriculture’s Kadiwa events and stores nationwide.

Lawyer Genevieve Velicaria-Guevarra, DA Assistant Secretary for Consumer Affairs and head of the Kadiwa program, during the 6th Highland Vegetable Industry Week celebration here on Wednesday, said the program has helped farmers from Benguet, Mountain Provice and Ifugao, among others, sell their supplies.

She said Kadiwa, first introduced by former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in the 1980s, is among the major programs of DA under the current administration to provide consumers affordable vegetables and other basic commodities and prime necessities.

Velicaria-Guevarra said highland vegetables are sought-after produce in Kadiwa events in Metro Manila.

“Ang gustong makita ng mamimili, kung direkta kong nakukuha sa farmers, mas makasisigurado sila na fresh at mas mura (What the consumers want to see if these are directly sourced from the farmers, they are assured they are buying fresh produce and are cheaper),” she added.

Velicaria-Guevarra said the department is continuously working with its offices in the Cordillera Administrative Regions (CAR) to also introduce other programs for the farmers.

Augusta Balanoy, president of the League of Associations at the La Trinidad Vegetable Trading Post, said about 1.5 million kilos of assorted fresh vegetables are traded at the trading posts daily, and the number doubles during the peak holiday season.

Report from the DA regional office, on the other hand, shows an average of 2 million kilos traded daily but this includes those from Benguet Agripinoy Trading Center. This, however, excludes the private trading centers.

In a media interview on the sidelines of the event, Guevarra said they hope to open more Kadiwa stores in the Visayas and Mindanao in the coming days.

“There should be [a Kadiwa] store to be opened per province,” she said. (PNA)
