DEKAD NO. 32 11 – 20 NOVEMBER 2024

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

PHILIPPINE AGRI-WEATHER FORECAST

The weather systems that will likely affect the whole country are the low pressure area (LPA), tropical cyclones, northeasterly (NE) surface windflow, shearline, easterlies, and localized thunderstorms.

During the start of the dekad, the Northern and Central Luzon will experience bad weather due to the passage of Tyhoon “NIKA” while Central Luzon, Metro Manila, CALABARZON, and Bicol Region are expected to have rains with gusty winds. The rest of Luzon will have cloudy skies with scattered rains and thunderstorms while the rest of the country will have fair weather condition. After this, gradual improvement of weather in areas affected by the weather disturbance is expected. However, as another tropical cyclone approaches the landmass of Northern Luzon, stormy weather will be felt, particularly in Batanes and Babuyan Islands while the remaining parts of Northern Luzon will have rains with gusty winds. These areas are expected to have gradual improvement of weather as the tropical cyclone moves northward, away from the country, during the mid of the forecast period. On the other hand, Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region, and Quezon will have rains with gusty winds as another weather disturbance approaches the country. Northern Luzon is expected to have bad weather while Metro Manila, and CALABARZON will gradually experience rains with gusty winds as the tropical cyclone cross the landmass. Cloudy skies with rainshowers and thunderstorms are expected over the rest of Luzon while the remaining parts of the archipelago will have good weather except for some chances of isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms. Gradual improvement of weather in areas affected by the weather disturbance is expected as it moves away the country.

Northern Luzon is expected to have gusty winds due to the passage of the three weather disturbances throughout the forecast period. Winds coming from the northeast to northwest will prevail over the eastern sections of Luzon and Visayas while the western section of Luzon will have winds from the southwest to south. The remaining parts of the country will have winds from the northwest to southwest. During the second half of the dekad, northeasterly winds will gradually prevail in extreme Northern Luzon while Visayas and the rest of Luzon will experience winds coming from east to southeast. Mindanao will have winds coming from east to northeast.

During the first half of the dekad, rough to very rough seas will be experienced over Northern and Central Luzon, particularly those areas that will be affected by the passage of the weather disturbances, while the remaining coastal waters of Luzon will have moderate to rough seas. The rest of the country are expected to have slight to moderate seas. During the second half of the forecast period, the passage of another two weather disturbances may bring rough to very rough seas over the seaboards of Luzon and Eastern Visayas while the rest of the archipelago will have moderate to rough seas.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: LA NIÑA ALERT (Issued: 23 October 2024)

Cool ENSO-neutral condition is now present in the Tropical Pacific. Most climate models combined with expert judgments suggest short-lived La Niña or La Niña-like conditions (71%) developing in Oct-Nov-Dec (OND) 2024 season and will likely persist until the first quarter (Jan-Feb-Mar) of 2025.

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

Farm Advisories:
Choose crop varieties that are resistant to flooding and waterlogging. Look for local recommendations on varieties that perform well in wet conditions. Enhanced the proper drainage to prevent waterlogging by creating raised beds and installing good drainage system. Enhance the pest and diseases monitoring and farm structures including greenhouse, animal shelters and storage facilities since wet conditions can facilitate the spread. Always keep machinery to be used in good condition and secure that the transport vehicles are with waterproof covers to protect the harvested goods.

* Department of Agriculture declares Cagayan as bird flu-free province

Author: DA Press Office | 7 November 2024

The Department of Agriculture has declared Cagayan province free from the highly-pathogenic avian influenza after several months of monitoring and other disease control operations.

In a memorandum circular no. 46, Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. has declared the province bird flu-free because if has been more than 90 days since the end of the cleaning and disinfection operations and that surveillance activities yielded negative AI test results.

“Our goal is to ensure the country has enough supply of food that is not only affordable but safe for public consumption,” said Secretary Tiu Laurel. “It is also our duty to protect the local poultry industry, which creates millions of jobs and generates billions in investments.”

The DA was placed the entire province under surveillance and close monitoring after the H5N1 strain of the bird flu virus was detected in gamefowl raised in the town of Solana in January 2023. Before last year’s avian influenza cases, Cagayan has been free of bird flu due to disease control measures, including biosecurity, cleaning and disinfection, and quarantine activities.

Surveillance activities includes blood collection and testing among wild and domestic birds.

Cagayan province is part of a bird migration path. Migratory bird species may carry the bird flu virus.

Cagayan Valley, which also includes the provinces of Batanes, Isabel, Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino, accounted for nearly 10 percent of national poultry production in the second quarter of 2024, data from the Philippine Statistics Authority showed. ###
