The PAGASA officially declared the end of La Niña on Monday, March 9, indicating the return to El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO)-neutral levels.

In a press release, the state weather bureau said that model forecasts suggest that the ENSO-neutral conditions are likely to persist from January to March and through June to August 2026.

“Despite the end of La Niña, other weather and climate systems may still influence rainfall distribution in the country. Rain-bearing weather systems may bring occasional heavy rainfall that could lead to flash floods and rain-induced landslides in vulnerable areas,” the PAGASA stated.

The state weather bureau assured the public that it will continue to monitor weather and climate conditions in the country and will provide updates when necessary.
