La Niña

La Niña is a climate 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 confirmed the onset of La Niña in October 2025, with effects expected to last until February 2026. The phenomenon has prompted government agencies to urge the public and local governments to prepare for potential flooding, landslides, and more frequent typhoons.
