FARMING ADVISORIES

AREAS AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER SYSTEMS
SOUTHWEST MONSOON, THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS

  • Clear canals, ditches, and drainage channels to prevent waterlogging and flooding.
  • Reinforce dikes, embankments, and pond walls to minimize erosion and structural damage.
  • Implement soil conservation practices, such as mulching or contour barriers, to reduce erosion during heavy rainfall.
  • Collect and store rainwater for future irrigation once weather conditions improve.
  • Secure farm machinery, tools, fertilizers, chemicals, and harvested produce in safe, elevated storage areas.
  • Keep farm records of weather impacts, crop losses, and management actions to improve future preparedness.
  • Assess field conditions before allowing workers to return, ensuring the area is free from hazards such as unstable trees, damaged electrical lines, or deep floodwaters.
  • Follow official advisories from DOST-PAGASA, the Department of Agriculture, and local government units.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS
(Updated as of 06 July 2026)

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

A weak to moderate El Niño continues to persist in the tropical Pacific. Climate models suggest that it will continue to intensify, becoming very strong by the October–November–December 2026 season. Farmers are advised to maintain irrigation systems, use drought-tolerant crops, and harvest mature crops early when needed. Localized thunderstorms may still occur, especially in the afternoon or evening, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, lightning, and possible flash flooding in low-lying areas. Farmers should stay alert to daily weather updates, secure farm structures, and avoid field activities during thunderstorms, and adjust planting schedules based on DOST-PAGASA forecasts.
