| From today until tomorrow (4-5 April), a possible low pressure system may form along the ITCZ, which could bring mostly cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms over the eastern and southern sections of Mindanao. Meanwhile, the northeasterly wind flow is expected to bring mostly cloudy skies with light rains over Batanes, Apayao, Cagayan, and Isabela. The rest of the country will experience fair weather with the possibility of isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms due to easterlies. |
From Sunday to Monday (6-7 April), the suspected low pressure system along the ITCZ may bring mostly cloudy skies with scattered rains and isolated thunderstorms over Mindanao and Palawan. Meanwhile, the rest of the country will experience warm and humid weather with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the eastern section of the country due to easterlies.

- Regularly inspect crops for signs of pests and diseases to quickly address any outbreaks.
- Adjust the frequency of irrigation based on weather conditions, soil type, and crop needs.
- Ensure that irrigation is consistent, especially during dry periods, to maintain healthy plant growth.
- Regularly inspect and clean drainage channels to prevent blockages caused by debris, soil, or other obstructions.
- Harvest crops when the weather is dry to prevent damage from excess moisture, which can lead to spoilage, fungal infections, and lower market value.
- Handle produce carefully during transportation to avoid physical damage or contamination.
ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS (updated: 18 March 2025)
https://pubfiles.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climps/climateforum/outlook.pdf
Implement water conservation practices such as rainwater harvesting and soil moisture monitoring to sustain crop growth. Regularly inspect and maintain irrigation systems to ensure efficient water distribution and prevent potential shortages. Monitor crops for fungal diseases, applying early detection methods and organic control measures as needed. Conduct regular field inspections to track pest activity and implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies for effective control. Strengthen farm structures, storage facilities, and drainage systems to enhance resilience against sudden weather changes and localized heavy rains.
