FARMING ADVISORIES

AREAS AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER SYSTEMS

SOUTHWEST MONSOON, THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS

  • Regularly clean and maintain drainage canals, dikes, and waterways to help water flow properly and avoid flooding in low areas.
  • Do not clear or fix canals and waterways during heavy rains or landslide warnings. Wait until the weather is clear and the area is safe.
  • Prune and support fruit-bearing plants and young trees to protect them from strong winds.
  • Keep farm tools and machines in covered, raised areas to protect them from rust and damage.
  • Secure greenhouses, trellises, and water tanks to prevent them from being blown away. Check and fix storage areas and drying facilities to stop moisture from damaging harvested crops.
  • Check the weather forecast before harvesting or delivering produce to avoid delays, spoilage, or accidents on the road.
  • Use covered vans or waterproof tarps to shield harvested crops from rain and too much moisture.

Farmers should regularly check local weather forecasts, since rain may vary from one area to another. Keep field drainage clear and prepare for sudden heavy rains or thunderstorms. Save water and prepare for short dry periods by collecting rainwater and applying mulch to keep the soil moist. Check and secure storage areas for seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and animal feeds. Keep them off the ground and covered to avoid spoilage from moisture. Monitor crops closely, control pests, and maintain healthy soil. Stay updated with weather forecasts and local advisories through radio, mobile alerts, or social media. Assign farm workers clear tasks and safety reminders, especially when working during or after rains.

FISHING ADVISORIES

No Gale Warning raised.

Slight to moderate seas will prevail over the entire archipelago. Still be reminded to be very careful in fishing, especially those using small seacraft. Always bring an emergency kit. Be updated for the latest weather updates and farm advisories from DOST- PAGASA.
