CEBU and nine other provinces in the Visayas are now experiencing drought due to the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, the state weather bureau said.Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas said the El Niño has transitioned from being strong and mature to moderate.Although it is “weakening,” its effects will still be felt in the next two months, he said during a news forum on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.According to Pagasa, El Niño elevates sea-surface temperatures, influencing global weather patterns by altering precipitation, temperature and atmospheric circulation. This ultimately leads to decreased rainfall.The weather agency said 10 provinces in the Visayas, including Cebu, are under drought. The other provinces are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar.Climactic periodsMeanwhile, Bohol, Capiz, Northern Samar and Southern Leyte are under a dry spell. Only Aklan is under dry conditions.The climatic periods are categorized based on the recorded rainfall compared to normal levels in the respective provinces. Eclarino said dry conditions occur with two consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, while a dry spell is indicated by three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of significantly below-normal levels. He said drought is classified as an extended dry condition, either with five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall. Pagasa previously defined below-normal rainfall as 20 to 60 percent less than the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates more than a 60 percent decrease from the norm.Eclarino advised the public to practice water conservation due to continuing decreased rainfall.He said that on average every March, Cebu’s rainfall is recorded at 60.9 millimeters. However, this year, it is only at 9.8 millimeters, which translates to an 84 percent reduction.“Dagko atong kakulangan sa ulan sa (We have a big rainfall shortage in) Cebu Province,” he said. Production declineEarlier this month, the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) experienced a critical decline in its surface water facility, losing approximately 29,000 cubic meters per day as a result of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon. In Jaclupan in Talisay City and in the mountain barangay of Lusaran in Cebu City, water production decreased to 20,000 from 30,000 cubic meters, while at the Buhisan Dam, production dropped to 4,000 from 6,000 cubic meters. Normally, MCWD produces 301,000 cubic meters, but due to these circumstances, production has decreased to 272,000 cubic meters.MCWD is a water utility firm whose franchise area covers the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.Eclarino urged the public to brace for the intense heat expected this Holy Week, with the heat index ranging from 38 to 41 degrees Celsius. He said this is classified under the category of extreme caution, suggesting that heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result in heatstroke. The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather would feel to the human body.Eclarino advised the public to avoid staying outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., especially during peak hours when the highest heat index is felt. / KJF What is all about casino?

Lauron, for his part, said they have to rely on the City Government for assistance since they don’t have funds to help farmers.On Tuesday, March 26, state meteorologist Jhomer Eclarino of the weather bureau Pagasa warned the public that the heat index in Cebu in the coming months may reach the “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius level.A heat index that ranges from 42 to 51 degrees Celsius is dangerous because it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, while prolonged exposure may even lead to a heat stroke, he said. The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather feels to the human body.Eclarino attributed the rise in the heat index to the drought caused by the El Niño as well as the ongoing dry hot summer.“We declared officially the start of warm, dry season or what we call ‘tag-init (summer) sa Pilipinas.’ At the same time we are also monitoring the ongoing El Niño phenomenon... thus, we can feel more the intense heat,” he said.Pagasa declared the end of the northeast monsoon, also known as amihan, last March 22, signaling the beginning of the summer season.The Philippines experiences only two seasons: dry and wet. Despite the absence of a specific summer season, Filipinos commonly refer to the dry season as such.He said that based on historical data, Cebu always experiences the highest temperatures in May. Eclarino said that on May 31, 2010, which was also during an El Niño, the province recorded its highest surface temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and a heat index of 49 degrees Celsius.He said Cebu and nine other provinces in the Visayas are currently experiencing a drought. The other provinces are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar.

Lauron, for his part, said they have to rely on the City Government for assistance since they don’t have funds to help farmers.On Tuesday, March 26, state meteorologist Jhomer Eclarino of the weather bureau Pagasa warned the public that the heat index in Cebu in the coming months may reach the “dangerous” 51 degrees Celsius level.A heat index that ranges from 42 to 51 degrees Celsius is dangerous because it can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, while prolonged exposure may even lead to a heat stroke, he said. The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather feels to the human body.Eclarino attributed the rise in the heat index to the drought caused by the El Niño as well as the ongoing dry hot summer.“We declared officially the start of warm, dry season or what we call ‘tag-init (summer) sa Pilipinas.’ At the same time we are also monitoring the ongoing El Niño phenomenon... thus, we can feel more the intense heat,” he said.Pagasa declared the end of the northeast monsoon, also known as amihan, last March 22, signaling the beginning of the summer season.The Philippines experiences only two seasons: dry and wet. Despite the absence of a specific summer season, Filipinos commonly refer to the dry season as such.He said that based on historical data, Cebu always experiences the highest temperatures in May. Eclarino said that on May 31, 2010, which was also during an El Niño, the province recorded its highest surface temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and a heat index of 49 degrees Celsius.He said Cebu and nine other provinces in the Visayas are currently experiencing a drought. The other provinces are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar. Although El Niño has transitioned from a strong and mature state to a moderate one, he said its effects will still be felt in the next two months.He said drought is classified as an extended dry condition, either with five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall.Pagasa previously defined below-normal rainfall as 20 to 60 percent less than the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates more than a 60 percent decrease from the norm.Dr. Eugenia Mercedes Cañal, regional epidemiologist of Department of Health 7, advised the public to observe safety measures amid the intensive heat.She urged the public to avoid going outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., wear sunscreen when going outside and always hydrate with water.Eclarino also forecast calm weather for the Visayas region from the last week of March through the first week of April.He said they don’t expect any typhoon or low-pressure area to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility during this period.“That is good news that we are typhoon-free or tropical cyclone-free in the (next) two weeks,” he said. / JJL, KJF What is all about casino? .

CEBU and nine other provinces in the Visayas are now experiencing drought due to the ongoing El Niño phenomenon, the state weather bureau said.Weather specialist Jhomer Eclarino of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) Visayas said the El Niño has transitioned from being strong and mature to moderate.Although it is “weakening,” its effects will still be felt in the next two months, he said during a news forum on Tuesday, March 26, 2024.According to Pagasa, El Niño elevates sea-surface temperatures, influencing global weather patterns by altering precipitation, temperature and atmospheric circulation. This ultimately leads to decreased rainfall.The weather agency said 10 provinces in the Visayas, including Cebu, are under drought. The other provinces are Antique, Biliran, Eastern Samar, Guimaras, Iloilo, Leyte, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental and Samar.Climactic periodsMeanwhile, Bohol, Capiz, Northern Samar and Southern Leyte are under a dry spell. Only Aklan is under dry conditions.The climatic periods are categorized based on the recorded rainfall compared to normal levels in the respective provinces. Eclarino said dry conditions occur with two consecutive months of below-normal rainfall, while a dry spell is indicated by three successive months of below-normal rainfall or two consecutive months of significantly below-normal levels. He said drought is classified as an extended dry condition, either with five consecutive months of below-normal rainfall or three months of significantly below-normal rainfall. Pagasa previously defined below-normal rainfall as 20 to 60 percent less than the usual amount, while way-below-normal rainfall indicates more than a 60 percent decrease from the norm.Eclarino advised the public to practice water conservation due to continuing decreased rainfall.He said that on average every March, Cebu’s rainfall is recorded at 60.9 millimeters. However, this year, it is only at 9.8 millimeters, which translates to an 84 percent reduction.“Dagko atong kakulangan sa ulan sa (We have a big rainfall shortage in) Cebu Province,” he said. Production declineEarlier this month, the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) experienced a critical decline in its surface water facility, losing approximately 29,000 cubic meters per day as a result of the ongoing El Niño phenomenon. In Jaclupan in Talisay City and in the mountain barangay of Lusaran in Cebu City, water production decreased to 20,000 from 30,000 cubic meters, while at the Buhisan Dam, production dropped to 4,000 from 6,000 cubic meters. Normally, MCWD produces 301,000 cubic meters, but due to these circumstances, production has decreased to 272,000 cubic meters.MCWD is a water utility firm whose franchise area covers the cities of Cebu, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Talisay, and the towns of Cordova, Consolacion, Liloan and Compostela.Eclarino urged the public to brace for the intense heat expected this Holy Week, with the heat index ranging from 38 to 41 degrees Celsius. He said this is classified under the category of extreme caution, suggesting that heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, and further activity may result in heatstroke. The heat index or “feels-like” temperature combines air temperature and humidity to indicate how hot the weather would feel to the human body.Eclarino advised the public to avoid staying outdoors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., especially during peak hours when the highest heat index is felt. / KJF What is the safest betting strategy? .

NOT only has the farm production in Cebu City’s mountain barangays dropped, some farmers have been forced to stop planting as El Niño continues to dry up water sources.That was the situation described by some barangay officials and farmer association leaders.The City Council placed 28 barangays under a state of calamity due to the ongoing extreme weather condition during its session on Wednesday, March 27, 2024.These included Barangays Budlaan, Binaliw, Paril, Taptap, Pulangbato, Mabini, Malubog, Agsungot, Guba, Lusaran, Adlaon, Cambinocot, Pamutan, Sirao, Sapangdaku, Toong, Buhisan, Pung-ol Sibugay, Babag, Sudlon 1, Sudlon 2, Bonbon, Sinsin, Kalunasan, Buot, Tagbao, Busay and Tabunan, according to City Agriculturist Joelito Baclayon in an earlier interview.Alliance of Cebu City Farmers Association president Casimero Pilones said some members decided not to cultivate their farms because of the lack of water.“Gamay na lang ang farmers nga naa karoy tanom kay wala nay ikabubo (There are only a few farmers left who still have crops because there is no more water to irrigate them),” said Pilones in a text message to SunStar Cebu on Sunday, March 31.In the last week of February, the weather bureau Pagasa declared Cebu under a dry spell.

The best parting token that we can offer him is the pledge to exceed what he has done during his watch and to continue the good work that he has begun,” Marcos said.“I am sure nothing will make General Benjie Acorda happier than seeing the organization he loves so much able to outdo all the previous achievements of the PNP. So, for all these and more, I congratulate and salute General Acorda for a job well done,” he added.Meanwhile, Marcos welcomed and congratulated Marbil as he wished him full confidence and assured him of his full support to champion a police force that is pro-God, pro-country, pro-people, and pro-environment.He urged Marbil to strengthen efforts in addressing emerging threats, such as cybercrime, terrorism, and transnational crimes. “We shall continue to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and give the finest service to our beloved citizens,” said Marcos.“Let us now ensure that the PNP will be agents of progressive transformation in the lives of our people by ensuring the safety and well-being of every community in the land,” he added.
