2 to 3 storms may enter PAR in July 2025, PAGASA says
State weather bureau PAGASA said two to three tropical cyclones may enter the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) this July 2025, with Pangasinan expected to experience rain on up to 21 days this month due to the southwest monsoon.
According to PAGASA, the southwest monsoon or 'habagat' continues to affect the region, bringing rain and thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon and evening.
'Nagkakaroon ng thunderstorm. Kaakibat nito ang ulan,' Engr. Jose Estrada Jr., Chief Meteorological Officer at PAGASA Dagupan Station, said.
Based on PAGASA's dry and rainy day forecast, Pangasinan may experience rainfall for up to 21 days this July 2025.
In addition, two to three tropical cyclones are likely to form and enter the PAR this month.
As thunder and lightning often come with heavy rains, PAGASA reminded the public to take extra caution.
Jay Dela Peña and his friends from Muntinlupa arrived in Dagupan City early morning on Tuesday, July 1, 2025.
They headed straight to Tondaligan Beach, eager to enjoy the sea before the expected afternoon rains.
'Okay naman. Presko, maaliwalas at refreshing,' Dela Peña said.
'Kung nandiyaan 'yung lightning and thunder, 'wag gumamit ng cellphone,' Estrada said.
Despite the frequent rain, PAGASA clarified that La Niña has not yet set in, as the current rainfall totals have not reached the criteria required for its declaration.
