The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) is monitoring a weather disturbance that is unlikely to enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

The number of provinces affected by El Niño has decreased, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.

Rains will prevail over Luzon today due to the southwest monsoon and the start of the rainy season, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration declared the start of the rainy season as Typhoon Aghon exited the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) at noon yesterday.

While some parts of the country were experiencing rains spawned by Typhoon Aghon over the weekend, the town of Guiuan in Eastern Samar was reeling from a heat index of 55 degrees Celsius or “extreme danger on Sunday,” according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.
