It was quite a hot summer, wasn’t it? It can still get stupidly hot these days, but it has started to cool down a bit over the past few weeks. That, however, poses a new problem: the rainy season.
The onset was felt this weekend when Typhoon Aghon made landfall. Now, though, it looks like we’re really in the thick of it, as the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has officially declared the start of the rainy season.

“The occurrence of scattered rainshowers, frequent thunderstorms, the passage of Typhoon Aghon, and the Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) over the past few days have brought significant rains over the western sections of Luzon and Visayas signifies the start of the rainy season in the country,” said PAGASA administrator Nathaniel Servando. “Moreover, the high chance of La Niña conditions to develop by the July-August-September period increases the likelihood of above-normal rainfall conditions in some areas of the country, especially towards the end of the year.”
