Dalawa hanggang apat pa na bagyo ang inaasahang papasok sa bansa ngayong 2023.
"Most of these tropical cyclones are landfalling or crossing. This means it will either be destructive in terms of wind strength, or it could cause heavy rains," pahayag ni Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) assistant weather services chief Analiza Solis nitong Huwebes.
Kaugnay nito, 45 na lalawigan naman ang posibleng maaapektuhan ng tagtuyot sa Marso 2024 dahil sa El Niño.
"There are areas that could experience dry spell from November to early next year. By end of January, around 26 provinces, mostly in the Visayas and Mindanao, might experience dry spell," aniya.
"A significant reduction in rainfall and drought is expected in around 45 provinces by end-March," sabi ni Solis.
Inaasahan namang maideklara ang pagsisimula ng northeast monsoon o amihan season sa susunod na dalawang araw.
Mararamdaman aniya ang malamig na simoy ng hangin sa panahon ng amihan, lalo na sa eastern portion ng bansa.
