Descripción
El Niño is caused by the warming of sea surface temperature in the Pacific and can affect air and sea currents. This phenomenon is expected to result in reduced rainfall that may lead to droughts, stronger typhoons and higher risk of forest or grass fires (PAGASA). Severe damage in farms, fisheries and forests may affect 30 percent of the country’s population relying on agriculture as a primary source of livelihood.
