ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: EL NIÑO ALERT
A transition from ENSO-neutral to El Niño is favored in the next couple of months, with higher chance of El Niño persisting up to the first quarter of 2024.
El Niño increases the likelihood of below-normal rainfall conditions, which could bring negative impacts (such as dry spells and droughts) in some areas of the country. However, over the western part of the country, above-normal rainfall conditions during the Southwest monsoon season (Habagat) may also be expected. https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/el-nino-la-nina/monitoring
With El Niño occurring in the Pacific basin every 2-9 years, PhilRice plant breeders reminded rice farmers to be prepared by planting drought-resistant varieties such as PSB Rc 10, NSIC Rc130, and NSIC Rc 134. These varieties can be harvested within 104-110 days. Farmers are also encouraged to avail of farm insurance to protect their crops from natural calamities.

IN AREAS AFFECTED BY SOUTHWEST MONSOON, THUNDERSTORMS, AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS
Moisture evaporating from the soil can be greatly reduced by mulching (covering the soil around the plants) with straw, hay, wood bark, or leaves. Mulching can be done only after seedlings are several inches high and after thinning the plants.
