La Niña may hit Phl by September
La Niña conditions may impact the Philippines as early as September, according to the state weather bureau Pagasa.
While the country is currently experiencing ENSO-neutral conditions, model forecasts indicate a growing likelihood of short-lived La Niña developing from the September-October-November season onwards.
La Niña is characterized by cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific.
Pagasa issues a La Niña Watch when there's a 55% or higher probability of its development within the next six months.
The potential onset of La Niña suggests the possibility of increased tropical cyclone activity towards the end of the year, which could lead to above-normal rainfall.
The agency cautioned that these conditions might trigger adverse impacts such as floods and landslides in susceptible regions.
