La Niña in the Philippines
Cold and wet. This is what the year of 2012 looms for its summer season as La Niña hit the Philippine area. And as the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said, it may stay in the country and reach its peak at the month of January to February and eventually become weak at the end of March to May.

With its current forecast, Flaviana Hilario, deputy administrator for research and development of the PAGASA warned that the country, especially the Easter section including the Bicol region, will experience more rains in January.
In February, most parts of the country will experience “more rains than normal,” especially the eastern portion of the country, Hilario said. She also added that March would likely be a summer with rains higher than normal.
For the month of April, Hilario said La Niña rains would still prevail over the country “but relatively low rainfall is likely to affect the country particularly over the western section.”
Above normal rains will prevail at the month of May and is expected to have normal weather at the month of June.
La Niña, Spanish for little girl, is a phenomenon that occurs during the abnormal cooling of the sea surface temperature in the Pacific and is characterized by excessive rainfall. It is the opposite of the phenomenon El Niño, which got its "Christ child" name because of its tendency to occur around Christmas, describes the appearance of unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean.
