Severe tropical storm by Sunday, super typhoon by Tuesday. Landfall unlikely though, thank God.

Lots of good data in the article though I find it a bit all over the place. All our major dams are below normal levels. #Pagasa declared the onset of #ElNiño last July 4.

"Ana Liza Solis, of Pagasa’s #ClimateMonitoring and prediction unit, earlier said that El Niño will likely become powerful in the following months and will persist until the first quarter of 2024." #Philippines #HeatWave

The state weather bureau warned on Tuesday that El Niño “increases the likelihood of below normal rainfall conditions,” which could trigger dry spells and #droughts in parts of the country.

#WaterSupply may be affected, which would hurt not just households and businesses but also agricultural production.

The #Philippines' weather bureau #PAGASA has officially declared the end of the northeast monsoon season (Amihan) or the cold and dry season (tag-lamig) and the start of the warm and dry season (aka "summer" or tag-init). This will last maybe until late May or early June when the southeast monsoon (Habagat) or wet season (tag-ulan) starts.

I have to say that this cold season has been noticeably less chilly, most likely due to climate change.
