June 2025 brought above-normal rainfall to the western seaboards of Central Luzon, the eastern portion of Northern Luzon including Aurora and Quezon, as well as parts of Mindanao.
PAGASA Weather Specialist 1 May Escol-Canlas said that most of the rainfall was observed in the western section of the country due to the southwest monsoon.
For the month of June, portions of Extreme Northern Luzon and the northern part of Panay Island experienced below-normal rainfall conditions.
Escol-Canlas also added that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) status in the country remains neutral.
"The Tropical Pacific remains under ENSO-neutral conditions, so our ENSO alert is on inactive, or neutral status," the weather specialist said.
Citing different climate models, she added that the ENSO conditions are expected to remain until the first three months of 2026.
PAGASA earlier said this month that the typhoons this year are “less severe” than last year when six consecutive typhoons battered Luzon.
Last April, PAGASA terminated its La Niña Alert after noticing La Niña conditions were not present in the Central and Equatorial Pacific.
Normal amounts of rainfall are forecast in most parts of the Philippines from July to September, while above-normal rainfall is expected in Southern Luzon, the Bicol Region, and MIMAROPA starting October.
At least 10 to 18 tropical cyclones are expected to form within the Philippine Area of Responsibility until December 2025.
