DEKAD NO. 26 11 – 20 SEPTEMBER 2024

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

The weather systems that will likely affect the whole country are the Southwest monsoon, tropical cyclone, low pressure area (LPA), and localized thunderstorms.

During the first few days of the dekad, Luzon and Visayas will experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms while Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. After that, the enhanced Southwest monsoon will bring cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms over the western sections of Luzon and Visayas while the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. On the latter part of the forecast period, southern Luzon and the eastern section of Visayas will experience cloudy skies with scattered to widespread rainshowers and thunderstorms due to a low pressure system. The enhanced Southwest monsoon will bring occasional moderate to heavy rains over the western sections of Luzon and Visayas, and light to moderate rains over the rest of Luzon. The rest of the country are expected to have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with possible occurrences of isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

During the early days of the dekad, winds coming from southwest to west will prevail over the whole archipelago. In the mid part of the dekad, winds coming from northeast to north will prevail over the northern part of Luzon while the rest of the country will have winds coming from southwest to west. In the latter part of the forecast period, winds coming from southwest west will prevail over the whole archipelago

During the first half of the dekad, slight to moderate seas will be experienced over the seaboards of Northern and Central Luzon while moderate to rough seas will be experienced over the rest of the archipelago. For the remaining part of the forecast period, the northern and eastern sections of Luzon and the eastern and western sections of southern Luzon will experience slight to moderate seas while slight seas will be experienced over the rest of the archipelago.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: LA NIÑA ALERT (Issued: 09 September 2024)

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-neutral conditions continue to prevail over the tropical Pacific Ocean. Most climate models combined with expert judgments suggest a 66% chance of La Niña forming in Sept-Oct-Nov 2024 season and will likely persist until the first quarter (Jan-Feb-Mar) of 2025. With these model probabilities, borderline La Niña or La Niña-like conditions will be likely in the coming months.

https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/el-nino-la-nina/monitoring
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

Consider using raised beds for planting to reduce the impact of waterlogging on root systems. Increase the organic matter in the soil by adding compost or manure. This improves soil structure and enhances water infiltration and retention. Implement water harvesting techniques to capture excess rainwater for use during dry periods. Strengthen field borders and terraces to prevent water from entering fields during heavy rains. Ensure farm roads and pathways are well-drained to prevent water accumulation and maintain access during wet conditions. Secure that transport vehicles are equipped with waterproof covers or tarps to protect goods from rain and moisture. Always keep machinery to be used in good condition. Pay attention to your health during harvest. Do not skip meals, eating small snacks, and stay hydrated. These habits will give you continuous energy throughout the day.
