DEKAD NO. 35 11 – 20 DECEMBER 2024

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

The weather systems that will likely affect the whole country are the Northeast (NE) Monsoon, shearline, easterlies, intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), and localized thunderstorms.

During the early days of the dekad, the eastern sections of Central Luzon and the Bicol Region may experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms due to shearline. Cloudy skies with rains may experience over Northern Luzon and the remaining parts of Central Luzon due to northeast monsoon while the rest of the country may experience partly to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms may experience over Palawan, Central Visayas, Southern Leyte, and Mindanao due to ITCZ while the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains and/or rainshowers or thunderstorms. After this, Northeast monsoon may bring cloudy skies with rains over Northern and Central Luzon, eastern section of CALABARZON, and Bicol Region. Eastern sections of Visayas and Mindanao will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms due to shearline while the rest of the country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms.

During the first half of the dekad, winds coming from the northeast to east will prevail over Luzon while east to northeast winds will prevail over the rest of the archipelago. After that, winds coming from the northeast to east will prevail over the whole country.

During the early days of the dekad, rough to very rough seas will prevail over the seaboards of Northern Luzon and eastern section of Central and Southern Luzon while the rest of the country will experience moderate to rough seas. After that, moderate to rough seas will be experienced over the whole archipelago. However, Northern Luzon and the eastern section of the country are expected to have moderate to rough seas during the latter part of the forecast period while the rest of the country will experience slight to moderate seas.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: LA NIÑA ALERT (Issued: 20 November 2024)
La Niña-like alert conditions are currently prevailing in the Tropical Pacific, despite sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the monitored region remains within the cool ENSO-neutral range. La Niña-like conditions increases the likelihood having above-normal conditions, which could lead to potential adverse impacts such as heavy rainfall, floods, flash floods, and rain-induced landslides over highly vulnerable areas. For more info: https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/el-nino-la-nina/monitoring

PAGASA will continue to closely monitor the developing La Niña. All government agencies concerned and the general public are encouraged to stay updated and use the information for guidance in taking precautionary measures to mitigate the adverse impacts of these phenomena.

Farm Advisories

Monitor pests and diseases closely and utilize integrated pest management techniques to manage infestations.
Regular maintenance on machinery is necessary to prevent delays and equipment breakdowns.
Enhanced the proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, construct and repair dike and ditches to ensure proper water efficiency and drainage.
Increase the strength of greenhouses, animal shelters, and storage facilities to protect against heavy rain and strong winds.
Use organic or plastic mulch to maintain the temperature of the soil, enhance water absorption, and shield plants from the stress of low temperatures.
