PAGASA

DEKAD NO. 33 21 – 30 NOVEMBER 2024

Philippine Agri-Weather Forecast

The weather systems that will likely affect the whole country are the low pressure area (LPA), Northeast (NE) Monsoon, shearline, easterlies, and localized thunderstorms.

During the start of the dekad, Batanes will have cloudy skies with rains while Babuyan Islands will experience cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms. The eastern section of Visayas and Mindanao will likely experience cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms. Partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms will dominate over the rest of the country. Generally, the same weather conditions will likely prevail throughout the forecast period except for cloudy skies with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms over Visayas and Mindanao due to a possible development of LPA east of Mindanao.

Generally, winds coming from northeast to east will blow over the whole country.

Moderate to rough seas will be experienced over Northern Luzon while slight to moderate seas will prevail over the whole archipelago throughout the forecast period.

PRESS RELEASE (Issued: 19 November 2024)
ONSET OF THE NORTHEAST MONSOON: Successive surges of northeasterly winds are expected over the next two weeks, leading to an increase in atmospheric pressure and cooling of surface air temperature over the northern portion of Luzon.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS: LA NIÑA ALERT (Issued: 20 November 2024)
La Niña alert persist, with La Niña-like conditions currently prevailing in the Tropical Pacific. Most climate models combined with expert judgments suggest short-lived La Niña (74%) developing in Nov-Dec-Jan (NDJ) 2024/25 season and will likely persist until the first quarter (Jan-Feb-Mar) of 2025. For more info: https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/el-nino-la-nina/monitoring

PAGASA will continue to closely monitor the developing La Niña. All government agencies concerned and the general public are encouraged to stay updated and use the information for guidance in taking precautionary measures to mitigate the adverse impacts of these phenomena.

Farm Advisories

Use organic or plastic mulch to keep the soil warm, improve water absorption, and protect plants from stress due to low temperatures. Mulching also prevents soil erosion and stops weeds from growing.
Monitor pests and diseases closely, as wet conditions can spread them quickly. Apply integrated pest management techniques to control infestations.
Keep machinery in good condition to handle wet conditions effectively. Perform regular maintenance to avoid delays and equipment breakdowns.
Reinforce greenhouses, animal shelters, and storage facilities to protect against heavy rain and strong winds. Cover harvested goods with waterproof tarps during transport to prevent moisture damage.

* DA calls for decisive climate action during 17th Climate Change Consciousness Week

Author: DA-AFID | 18 November 2024
The Department of Agriculture (DA), through the Adaptation and Mitigation Initiative in Agriculture (AMIA), joins the nation in celebrating the Global Warming and Climate Change Consciousness (CCC) Week with its opening ceremony on November 19, 2024.
“As we gather to kick off the 17th Annual Global Warming and Climate Change Consciousness Week, we are reminded once more of the urgent call for decisive climate action. President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. has underscored the importance of addressing climate change impacts across all sectors, with a special emphasis on agriculture, where food security, community resilience, and environmental stewardship intersect,” Undersecretary for Operations Roger V. Navarro said.
In his keynote message, Usec. Navarro stressed that the Department, through the leadership of Secretary Francisco P. Tiu Laurel Jr. is pushing for regenerative agriculture and rejuvenation of soils toward building a stronger, climate-resilient future for the country.
Under the overarching theme “Bagong Pilipinas, Bagong Bansang Matatag”, the 17th CCC Week highlights DA-AMIA’s sub-theme, “Aksyon at Adaptasyon ng Makabagong Henerasyon”, emphasizing the need for innovative, forward-thinking solutions to address climate change.
“For us in the DA, this means strengthening the foundation of progressive and resilient communities that we have begun through our various climate resiliency-building initiatives under the AMIA Program and other DA programs,” Usec. Navarro said.
“As such, let us work together with a renewed sense of purpose–embracing climate action not only as an afterthought but as an integral part of every program and service that we deliver at the Department,” he added.
As a highlight of the event, DA-AMIA set up a photo exhibit showcasing inspiring stories from AMIA villages and CREATEs (Climate Resilient Agriculture Technologies) that have adopted climate-resilient agricultural practices.
The DA-Regional Field Office (RFO) 12 AMIA Program Team emerged as the big winner of the DA-AMIA Communication Photo Contest with its entry “Increased Productivity, Increased Adaptive Capacity,” which highlighted the Riverside Farmers Association in Tulunan, Cotabato Province AMIA Village. DA-RFO 5 “Bicolana: Angat at Sagana”, DA-RFO 9 “Eggs-traordinary Love in an Eggs-traordinary Farm”, and DA-RFO 3 “Mga Bagong Teknik sa Pagsasaka, Mayabong na Ampalaya ang Bunga” were runners-up.
These visual stories reflect the resilience and determination of Filipino farmers in adapting to the changing climate.
Pursuant with Presidential Proclamation No. 1667, series of 2008, CCC Week is observed annually from November 19 to 25, aiming to raise awareness about global warming and its wide-ranging impacts, particularly on the agriculture sector. ### (Kristel Joyce Merle, DA-AFID)

**#RCEFgabay | Brown Rice
Ang brown o unpolished rice, na karaniwang tinatawag ding pinawa, ay palay na inalisan lamang ng balat o ipa. Ito ay kulay brown dahil kasama pa nito ang darak. Mas masustansya ito dahil ang darak na ito ay mayaman sa protina, fiber, vitamins, minerals, at antioxidants.

#BeRiCEPONSiBLE #NationalRiceAwarenessMonth #NRAM2023

***Kung pagkaing Pinoy ang pag-uusapan, hindi pwedeng mawala ang kanin sa hapag-kainan!

Ngayong National Rice Awareness Month, alamin ang iba't ibang uri ng bigas sa bansa at tuklasin ang mga mas masustansyang alternatibo sa white rice.
Sama-sama nating isulong ang rice sufficiency para sa mas malusog na Pilipinas.
