La Ni帽a

La Ni帽a is a weather phenomenon characterized by cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which affects rainfall patterns and increases the risk of flooding and cyclone activity in the Philippines. As of April 4, 2025, PAGASA announced that La Ni帽a conditions have ended, transitioning to neutral climate with less rainfall expected in regions like Luzon and Bicol. Neutral weather is forecasted to persist through September-October-November 2025, although caution remains for potential lingering impacts from the recent La Ni帽a event.
