Pagasa warns of drier, hotter months ahead
02/09/2010 Several provinces affected by drier than normal conditions have started to recover, but the state weather bureau warned that the impact of the so-called El Niño phenomenon will persist until June. “Overall assessment of rainfall for the month of January was below to way below normal in most areas of Luzon and Region 6 (Western Visayas). Near normal condition was observed in Regions 4-B (the Mimaropa area), Bicol Region, Central Visayas, Northern Samar and Central Mindanao. The rest of the Visayas and Mindanao have received above normal rainfall,” the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said in its latest El Niño advisory.
