“Pagasa has been continuously monitoring the [ENSO] conditions in the tropical Pacific. The final La Niña advisory was issued last March 10, 2023 with ENSO – neutral conditions now present,” Pagasa said.

Pagasa, however, clarified that El Niño also increases the possibility of above-normal rainfall during the habagat or southwest monsoon phase of the year. As a precautionary measure, the agency also urged the public to take precautionary measures now that the northeast monsoon has terminated, and that the dry season has started.
