DEKAD NO. 34 1 – 10 DECEMBER 2025

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

During the forecast period, the country will be affected by several weather systems including tropical cyclone, low-pressure areas (LPAs), Northeast Monsoon, shear line, easterlies, Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), and localized thunderstorms.

During the early days of the dekad, Northeast Monsoon (Amihan) will bring cloudy skies with rains over Northern Luzon while cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms are expected over SOCCSKSARGEN and BARMM due to the ITCZ. After this, cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will prevail over Visayas, Bicol Region, MIMAROPA, CALABARZON, Caraga, and Northern Mindanao due to a possible developing low pressure system that will come near the eastern section of Visayas. Cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms will be experienced over Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, and Aurora due to the shear line while partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains are expected over the rest of Luzon due to the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan). Cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms will continue to effect SOCCSKSARGEN and BARMM due to ITCZ while the rest of Mindanao will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to easterlies. Towards the end of the forecast period, shearline will continue to bring cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms over Cagayan Valley, the Cordillera Administrative Region, Isabela and Aurora while Amihan will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains over the Ilocos Region, and the rest of Luzon. The low pressure system may develop into a tropical depression and will traverse the islands of Visayas will bring stormy weather over the Quezon, Palawan, Bicol Region, Visayas, Northern Mindanao, and Caraga. The rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies.

During the early part of the dekad, winds coming from the northeast to north will prevail over Luzon while winds coming from north to northwest will prevail over the rest of he country. Thereafter, Palawan, Bicol Region, Visayas, Northern Mindanao, and Caraga is expected to have gusty winds due to passage of tropical cyclone while the rest of the country will have winds coming from the northeast. In the latter part of the forecast period, northeasterly winds will prevail over the country.

During the early day of the dekad, Rough to very rough seas will prevail over the seaboards of Extreme Northern Luzon while moderate to rough seas will be experienced over the seaboards of Northern Luzon. The rest of the country will have light to moderate seas. Towards the end of the forecast period, rough to very rough seas will prevail over the seaboards of the eastern section of the country. Moderate to rough seas will prevail over the remaining seaboards of Luzon and Visayas while slight to moderate seas are expected over the rest of the country.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: LA NIÑA ALERT (Updated: 26 November 2025)

Cooler-than-average SSTAs are observed in the tropical Pacific, reflecting the ongoing La Niña conditions. Climate models suggest La Niña conditions to persist until the Dec-Jan-Feb 2026 season. Thereafter, ENSO-neutral conditions are favored

Farm Advisories

Before a tropical disturbance arrives, farmers should prioritize safety by securing animals in safe shelters with enough food and water and reinforcing houses, barns, and storage facilities. Keep machinery in good condition and use waterproof covers on transport vehicles to protect harvested goods. After the passage typhoon, farmers should first ensure safety and assess damages only when authorities declare it safe. Wet, and cool conditions promote fungal diseases, bacterial blight, and pest infestations, making regular field monitoring and proper control measures essential. Remove disease-harboring plant residues, dry grains thoroughly to prevent molds, and inspect storage areas for leaks.

* Philippine rice boards Arctic’s ‘Noah’s Ark’

Author: DA Press Office | 2 November 2025

Far from Nueva Ecija’s sun-baked paddies, a fragment of the Philippines now lies in slumber beneath Arctic ice. It is not a misdirected balikbayan box—it is 4,417 samples of Filipino rice, safely stored in the world’s most secure freezer: Norway’s Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
Think of it as agriculture’s Noah’s Ark. Instead of elephants and zebras, seeds lie sealed in aluminum envelopes, waiting patiently for the day they might save the world’s dinner plates. Opened in 2008, the vault is periodically unlocked to receive new deposits—the latest this October.
The majority of the Philippine samples were collected by the Department of Agriculture’s Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) since the 1980s, coinciding with the agency’s founding decades ago. Each genetic resource accession has been meticulously profiled and documented, ensuring its identity and integrity. PhilRice plans to send another batch of collections next year, deepening its commitment to global rice biodiversity preservation.
Dubbed the “Doomsday Vault,” the icy fortress sits on Spitsbergen Island near Longyearbyen, its purpose both simple and profound: to protect the genetic blueprints of the world’s crops from climate change, war, natural disasters, or the next pandemic. Part science fiction, part insurance policy, it is buried deep in permafrost and engineered to outlast civilization’s uncertainties.
For PhilRice, sending seeds to Svalbard is both milestone and metaphor. It marks the first time in four decades that rice duplicates are stored outside the country—a frosty “savings account” for the nation’s genetic wealth. These duplicates ensure that if typhoons, pests, or other calamities threaten Philippine rice diversity, a safeguard exists thousands of kilometers away.
“Each seed carries more than potential harvests—it holds stories of Filipino resilience, heritage, and taste,” said Agriculture Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. From heirloom grains tended by Cordillera farmers to beloved varieties like Dinorado and Milagrosa, prized for their fragrance and softness, to modern hybrids bred for drought resistance—each one tells a story of survival.
PhilRice adds, “The journey of a seed—from a speck in the soil to a flourishing plant—mirrors the path of our dreams.”
Jonathan Niones, head of PhilRice’s Genetic Resources Division, led the team that prepared and shipped the samples to Norway. Executive Director John de Leon said the duplicates now housed in Svalbard offer “peace of mind,” ensuring insurance against irreversible loss of the nation’s rice gene pool.
While Arctic winds howl outside Svalbard’s steel doors, the Philippines’ rice legacy rests in hibernation—quietly enduring, ready for whatever the future brings. Science, symbolism, or a touch of Arctic magic—this is how a nation safeguards its heart.
“Call it what you will,” Secretary Laurel said, “but it is comforting to know that somewhere, the heart of Filipino agriculture continues to beat, no matter what comes.” ### (By DA – OSEC Comms & file photo by AFID)
