Longer nights begun– PAGASA
By J.Lo
"Time discrepancy is caused by atmospheric refraction enabling us to observe sun minutes before it rises and sets," state weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Said longer nights are expected in the Philippines as yesterday marked beginning of autumnal and vernal equinoxes in northern and southern hemispheres, respectively.
Days and nights will be approximately 12 hours long, with sun rising at 5:45 in the morning and setting at 5:53 in the afternoon.
Country is moving toward winter solstice, starts around third week of December, PAGASA weather forecaster Daniel James Villamil noted.
"Northeast monsoon starts in early November and lasts until February…we can experience colder weather as we are already transitioning from southwest monsoon to northeast monsoon, southwest monsoon does not reach Metro Manila…at present, it only affects Northern Luzon like Ilocos Region and Cagayan Valley… located offshore and it does not reach many areas in the country," Villamil stressed. There are now fewer areas affected by the southwest monsoon, he said.
Meanwhile, four to seven typhoons are expected to enter Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) until yearend amid threat of La Niña, PAGASA said.
Height of La Niña is forecast between September and November, said PAGASA Climate Monitoring and Prediction Section chief Ana Lisa Solis.
"We are still at La Niña alert, meaning since August, PAGASA has issued general statement of La Niña-like conditions," she noted.
Heavy to intense rains are expected until end of the year as tropical cyclones will continue to enhance southwest monsoon, Solis said.
Tropical cyclones Ferdie, Gener, Helen and Igme entered PAR in span of a week. Nine cyclones have entered PAR since January.
Tropical Depression Igme is now outside PAR, said PAGASA weather specialist Grace Castañeda.
Southwest monsoon will continue to bring rains in Ilocos Region, Batanes and Babuyan Islands. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience rains brought by localized thunderstorms.
Authorities yesterday reported 25 deaths, 13 injured and eight missing due to combined effects of enhanced southwest monsoon and Ferdie, Gener, Helen and Igme. Number of affected people reached 1,449,293.
