PAGASA predicts less severe typhoons in 2025 due to lack of La Niña

PAGASA predicts that tropical cyclones in 2025 will be less severe than in 2024, primarily due to the absence of La Niña.

PAGASA Deputy Administrator Mar Villafuerte noted that last year, the country experienced six consecutive typhoons and super typhoons in just one month, from October to November.

Villafuerte stated that this year's storm activity is not expected to reach the same intensity as the previous year.

DOST Secretary Renato Solidum corroborated Villafuerte's assessment, attributing the expected milder storm season to the lack of La Niña.

La Niña is a weather phenomenon characterized by cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific, typically bringing above-normal rainfall.
