IN AREAS WITH MODERATE TO SCATTERED RAINS AND THUNDERSTORMS: FARMERS LIVING IN LOW LYING AREAS AND NEAR MOUNTAIN SLOPES ARE REMINDED TO DO COVER CROPPING, LAND TERRACING AND WATERWAY DECLOGGING ACTIVITIES. THIS IS TO PREVENT SOIL EROSION AND PROVIDE HUMUS, REGULATE WATER, REDUCE WEED, INCREASE BIODIVERSITY AND IMPROVE FARMING AS A WHOLE. KEEP BARNS AND CROP STORAGE ROOMS TO BE IN GOOD, DRY AND WELL VENTILATED CONDITION. DRY WET GRAINS USING MECHANICAL DRYER TO AVOID DETERIORATION.
FOR WET (IRRIGATED) AND MOIST AREAS: LAND PREPARATION (PLOWING, HARROWING, HOEING); WEEDING AND CULTIVATION, PLANTING AND TRANSPLANTING HIGH VALUE CROPS; HARVESTING OF MATURED CROPS; USE COVERED VANS IN DELIVERY OF GOODS IN THE MARKET; PLANTING OF FRUIT TREES TO REPLACE THE OLD ONES.
FOR DRY(RAINFED) AREAS WITH LIGHT TO MODERATE WINDS: SPRAYING PESTICIDES, HERBICIDES, OR FOLIAR FERTILIZER (LIGHT WINDS ONLY). IN AREAS WITH INSUFFICIENT WATER SUPPLY, DRIP IRRIGATION IS ONE ECONOMICAL WAY OF MAINTAINING THE MOISTURE REQUIRED BY THE CROPS; MULCHING CAN ALSO BE DONE TO PREVENT THE RAPID LOSS OF SOIL MOISTURE SO AS TO SUSTAIN THE GOOD GROWING CONDITION OF THE PLANTS.
THE COASTAL WATERS OVER THE EASTERN SECTION OF THE COUNTRY WILL HAVE SLIGHT TO MODERATE SEAS. ELSEWHERE, WILL BE SLIGHT SEAS. FISHERMEN ARE REMINDED TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN GOING OUT TO THE SEA SPECIALLY THOSE USING SMALL SEACRAFT. ALWAYS BRING EMERGENCY KIT. BE UPDATED FOR THE LATEST WEATHER UPDATE AND FARM ADVISORIES.
