The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) announced the end of the Southwest Monsoon, marking the transition into the dry season. The agency confirmed that the monsoon has officially ended, bringing relief to regions that had experienced prolonged rainfall.
The same agency noted that the trough associated with Typhoon Choi-wan is causing scattered rains and thunderstorms over parts of the Visayas and Mindanao. These weather conditions are expected to impact Western Visayas and other areas outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Pagasa issued updates indicating that the trough is influencing cloud cover and precipitation patterns in the region.
This development follows a period of continuous rain that affected multiple provinces. The end of the monsoon season is typically a significant event for local communities, as it signals the start of drier conditions. However, the ongoing influence of Typhoon Choi-wan’s trough means that some areas will still experience intermittent rainfall. Pagasa continues to monitor weather patterns and provide regular updates to the public.
