The Philippine Weather Service (PAGASA) said that this summer or March to April could be the hottest months in recent years, with maximum temperatures likely to be as high as 40 degrees Celsius.
"March, April and May – we call them summer and dry season – but this year is probably one of the hottest months we've ever recorded," said Ana Liza Solis, an expert at the Philippine Meteorological Service. Historically, we've recorded warmer temperatures in years when El Niño was prevalent. ”
In addition, due to the El Niño phenomenon, the Philippine Meteorological Bureau** will have a lower than average number of tropical cyclones this year. The Philippines typically experiences about 20 tropical cyclones per year, but this year there may be only 13.
At the same time, the Capital Region could also experience a decrease in rainfall as early as February or March, with the worst likely to experience a drought or a 21 to 60 percent decrease in rainfall for three to five consecutive months.
