00:00 The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration announces
00:05 the southwest monsoon or habagat season is over.
00:09 Weather Bureau Pagasa says weather patterns have changed due to the strengthening of the
00:12 high-pressure system over East Asia.
00:15 The southwest monsoon, which triggers rain in the western part of the country, usually
00:19 lasts from June to September.
00:21 The end of the southwest monsoon season means the country is "now in a gradual transition
00:26 to the northeast monsoon or Amihan season."
00:29 It brings cool, dry air to the Philippines and may also cause rain in the eastern part
00:33 of the country.
00:34 But Pagasa reminds the public the El Niño phenomenon persists and is expected to become
00:39 stronger later in the year.
