TERMINATION OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON /
PREPARATION FOR WARM AND DRY SEASON
The shift of wind direction from northeasterly to easterly due to the establishment of the High Pressure Area (HPA) over the Northwestern Pacific signifies the termination of the Northeast Monsoon over most parts of the country and the start of the dry season. However, the extreme Northern Luzon may still experience occasional northeasterly winds. With this development, the day-to-day weather across the country will gradually become warmer, though isolated thunderstorms are also likely to occur.
The public is advised to take precautionary measures to minimize heat stress and optimize the daily use of water for personal and domestic consumption.
DOST-PAGASA will continue to closely monitor the country’s weather and climatic conditions and their potential impacts, while the public and other concerned agencies are encouraged to regularly check for updates.
