La Niña-like conditions over the past few months persisted in some parts of the Philippines but international climate prediction centers see the pattern gradually fading by February.
Forecasters of the Washington-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Japan Meteorological Agency, APEC Climate Center in South Korea, and World Meteorological Organization said the weather pattern will return to neutral condition, where neither El Niño nor La Niña is present, by next month.
While the climate pattern returns to neutral condition, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration warned the public that La Niña-like conditions could continue as its adverse impacts have been seen in some flood- and landslide-prone areas in the country.
During La Niña conditions, major parts of the country experience near to above normal rainfall conditions particularly over the eastern sections.
Just this month, parts of Visayas and Mindanao suffered from flash floods which is a manifestation of the La Niña-like condition prevailing in the country. (Ellalyn V. Ruiz)
