Monthly Philippine Agro-climatic Review and Outlook

June 2026

Simplified Version Monthly Agroclimatic Review and Outlook
 


For the month of June, the country was affected by several weather systems, including the tropical cyclone, Southwest Monsoon, low pressure area (LPA), trough of LPA, easterlies, intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), and localized thunderstorms.

As shown in Figure 1, near-normal rainfall conditions prevailed across most areas of the country. However, above-normal rainfall was observed in parts of Palawan and the Davao Region, while way-below-normal rainfall occurred in Camarines Norte, Siquijor, Surigao del Sur, and Basilan.

The highest recorded rainfall for the month was observed at Subic Bay Synoptic Station (683.3 mm), followed by Cuyo Island Synoptic Station (480.5 mm), and PSPC Mambusao Agromet Station (431.4 mm).
SOIL MOISTURE CONDITION TEMPERATURE
Wet – Zambales, Bataan, most parts of Palawan, Romblon, Occidental Mindoro, some portions of Capiz, some portions of Bukidnon, davao del Norte, and Lanao del Sur

Moist – – Ilocos Sur, Itbayat, Nueva Ecija, most parts of Aurora, Tayabas, Laguna, most parts of Cavite, Batangas, most parts of Cordillera Administrative Region, Quezon City, Southern Leyte, Leyte, some portions of Eastern Samar, Davao del Sur, Maguindanao, and Negros Occidental

Dry – Rest of the country
  • Slightly warmer to warmer-than-average mean surface air temperatures were observed across most parts of the country during the month, except for select areas in western Luzon, Bicol, and southern Mindanao where cooler-than-average temperatures were recorded.
  • Most parts of the country experienced slightly warmer- to warmer-than-average mean surface air temperatures during the month, while selected areas in western Luzon, Bicol Region, and southern Mindanao experienced cooler-than-average conditions.
  • Tuguegarao City recorded the highest temperature with 39.1°C on June 12, while BSU, La Trinidad Benguet logged the lowest temperature of 16.0°C on June 15.

Forecast Mean Temperature Anomaly ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS

Near-average to warmer-than-average mean temperatures are expected across most parts of the country, while some areas may experience slightly cooler-than-average conditions.
EL NIÑO ADVISORY
(as of 06 July 2026)

https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/climate-advisories
A weak to moderate El Niño continues to be present in the tropical Pacific. Climate models suggest that El Niño will further intensify, becoming very strong by October-November-December 2026 season. El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall conditions, which may result in adverse impacts such as dry spells and droughts in some areas of the country. However, over the western part of the country, above-normal rainfall conditions during the Southwest monsoon season (i.e., Habagat) may also occur. 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.
