It is certainly the time of the year again when all you want to do is spend all your day in a beautiful beach resort while sipping your favorite fruit shake under the scorching heat of the sun. Summer time is fast approaching and everyone must be thrilled about it.
Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) weather forecaster Aldczar Aurelio said they are already close to declaring the onset of summer season because the cold weather-associated northeast monsoon or hanging amihan has started to weaken.
“We are expecting an unusual summer this year due to the La Niña,” Aurelio said.
La Niña season can be defined as an unusual climate condition accompanied by intense rains that brings unusual weather patterns in the country. Due to its effects, the eastern part of our country particularly in Visayas and Mindanao regions would likely experience more rains especially in the afternoon and evening.
Luzon is also not exempted from the possible occurrence as it will be affected by the ridge of high pressure area associated with warm and humid weather apart from afternoon or evening light showers.
So for all the summer-loving throng who are eager to experience the hottest season of the year, better change your swimming and outing plans for now. Settle on fun activities held indoors instead and stay updated on weather forecasts with your fingers crossed, waiting for luck-- not rain, to pour.
