The official El Nino alarm could be issued by May as the likelihood of its occurrence is increasing.

According to Marcelino Villafuerte, director of the Climate Impact Assessment and Application of the Climatology and Agrometeorology Division under the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the phenomenon, which is characterized by warmer-than-average temperatures, will first be felt in Mindanao in October before spreading to the Visayas and Luzon.

With “above normal” rainfall before it begins, El Nino’s likelihood will rise from its present 70 to 80 percent by July to September.

To deal with the extreme weather system, which might endure until the beginning of 2024, early preparations and public participation are essential, according to Villafuerte.

At the Saturday News Forum in a Quezon City restaurant, he stated, “We will have a weak to moderate El Nino, so we have to prepare for it.”

One of the top goals is the conservation of water.

“Water needs to be saved. Close the faucet, for instance, while you brush your teeth or wash your hands. Sevillo David Jr., executive director of the National Water Resources Board, advised against constant water flow.

“Simple actions will make a significant difference in such a circumstance.”

El Nino last struck the nation in 2018 and 2019.

During its final month in July 2019, two tropical cyclones developed in the Philippine Area of Responsibility; moderate to heavy rains were felt in most parts of western Luzon, western Visayas, and some areas of western Mindanao; the water level of several dams in Luzon increased; and flooding, flashfloods, landslides, and soil erosion were reported in Cagayan, Cordillera, Central Luzon, Western Visayas, and Lanao del Norte that caused damage to agriculture.

To avoid heat stroke, Villafuerte suggested drinking plenty of water and spending as much time indoors as possible.

Tuesday’s “extreme danger” temperature in Catbalogan City, Samar, is predicted to be 56 degrees.

When relative humidity and air temperature are combined, the heat index is what the temperature feels like to a human body.
