BerY Rainy Months?

-Rona Dale Ortiz

It’s such a wonderful feeling, hassle free and stranded in the house. It’s been 3 days and the rain still pours vigorously It’s like the first quarter of the year. Baguio is again at the range of 11-14 degrees centigrade--- aside from the fact that ber months are approaching, well what else can I say? Taking a bath, upon waking up is a burden--- No matter how you heighten the hot range for shower nothing happens, after a few moments coldness strikes my outer skin--- well why this season is happening? I don’t even have an answer with the matters of dry spell , and the reason why last quarter ( pertaining to the Ber months) become the trend of rainy season----

The first two quarters this year became the season of the dry spell or the so called El Nino phenomenon, the said phenomenon brought about great damage to the areas of Nortern Luzon such as Isabella and Cagayan Valley. La Trinidad which is also a part of the Cordillera region was affected with the said phenomenon. Crop production was not easy, and the selling point of the vegetables went down; due to low production on farming.

Things went running on my mind, why did the weather pattern changed?
Ber Months became the typhoon months, and the rainy months became the season for dry spell?

Climate change worlwide is caused by the sudden drop of the icebergs, there is already a worldwide threat, whatever happens to the ice regions at the north and south poles , there is an effect to every region world wide. So whatever happens to a certain place, it just shows that thing is always a part of its whole.

For the case of the Philippines, experiencing the dynamic transition of seasons---experts have certainties on giving guidelines about the weather, and the climate that has been taking for long, but then PAGASA; doses their methods in tracking high and low pressure areas that can bring about monsoon rains.

For our forcast--- bring your umbrellas, rain or shine it could help. :)
