La Niña

La Niña is a weather phenomenon characterized by cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Pacific, which can lead to increased rainfall and a higher risk of tropical cyclones in the Philippines. PAGASA has confirmed a weak La Niña event that is expected to persist until early 2026, potentially causing floods, landslides, and more frequent typhoons. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources has urged Filipinos and local governments to prepare for these weather conditions.
