The The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) declared the start of the rainy season on Tue morning, Jun 23.
“In a press conference, Dr. Vicente Malano, officer-in-charge of PAGASA, said that rainy season is expected to last for three months especially in the western section of the country,” report Aries Joseph Hegina and Frances Mangosing on Inquirer.net.
Malano added that “they expect one to two tropical cyclones to hit the country in the remainder of this month , three to five in July, two to four in August and September, two to three in October, one to two in November, and at least one tropical cyclone in December.”
Malano further explained that “the El Niño, which will be felt from October to the first quarter in 2016, may lessen the amount of rainfall but will not prevent the formation of strong typhoons which usually hit the country towards the last quarter of the year.”
