PRESS RELEASE
DOST-PAGASA S&T Media Service
Quezon City, 04 June 2026
ONSET OF THE RAINY SEASON
Based on the weather observations and analyses, occasional to frequent rains associated with the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) have been observed over the past five days. This signifies the onset of the rainy season across the western sections of Luzon and the Visayas.
However, periods of reduced rainfall, commonly referred to as monsoon breaks, may occur and last for several days or weeks.
Moreover, with the looming El Niño, enhanced Habagat rainfall over the western sections of Luzon and Visayas is highly likely during the season.
PAGASA will continue to monitor the weather and climate situation in the country. The public and all concerned agencies are advised to take precautionary measures against the adverse impacts of the rainy season, Habagat, and other climate and weather events.
