Philippines to face more cyclones in 2024 with La Niña’s return

There are usually more cyclones during La Niña because of warmer ocean temperatures. There is a 62% chance that La Niña will develop during June to August.

We will experience the possible effects of La Niña during the last quarter of the year,”

La Niña brings stronger trade winds, pushing warm surface water in the western Pacific, where the Philippines is located, and drawing up cool water in the eastern Pacific. Warm water creates more rain.

Farmers' Climate Advisory: La Niña Preparedness

Understanding La Niña

La Niña is characterized by unusually cooler than average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific.

It triggers above-normal rainfall in the Philippines, which can significantly impact agriculture.

Key Considerations for Farmers

1. Crop Selection and Timing
- Choose Resilient Crops: Opt for crop varieties that are tolerant to excess moisture.
- Adapt Planting Calendars: Align planting and harvesting schedules with expected rainfall patterns during La Niña.

2. Soil and Water Management:
- Improve Drainage: Ensure proper soil drainage to prevent waterlogging.
- Terracing and Contour Farming: Implement these practices to prevent soil erosion during heavy rains.

3. Pest and Disease Control:
- Monitor Pests: Increased humidity during La Niña can lead to higher pest populations.
- Fungal Diseases: Be vigilant against fungal diseases that thrive in wet conditions.

4. Livestock Management:
- Shelter and Feed: Provide shelter for livestock during heavy rains.
- Forage Preservation: Harvest and store forage during dry periods for use during wet spells.

5. Infrastructure Preparedness:
- Repair and Strengthen Structures: Check and reinforce barns, sheds, and fences.
- Elevate Equipment: Raise machinery and equipment to prevent water damage.

6. Emergency Preparedness:
- Emergency Kits: Prepare emergency kits with essentials like food, water, medicines, and flashlights.
- Community Coordination: Collaborate with neighboring farmers to share resources and support.

La Niña Watch and Preparedness

- PAGASA has issued a La Niña Watch due to an increasing probability of La Niña developing in the next six months.
- While it's not an absolute guarantee, being aware and prepared is essential.
- Stay informed through official weather advisories and local extension services.

Remember, proactive planning and adaptive practices can help Filipino farmers mitigate the impact of La Niña on their crops and livelihoods.

*Disclaimer: This advisory provides general guidance. For specific recommendations, consult local agricultural experts and extension services.*
