DAVAO CITY, September 28 (PIA) - - Davao Region is experiencing
starting this month the fourth strongest El Niño recorded.
Senior Meteorologist Gerry Pedrico of the Department of Science
and Technology – Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical Astronomical Sciences
Administration (DOST-PAGASA) revealed on Friday during the Hermes
Club Press Forum at Waterfront Insular Hotel that the dry spell, which is
looming in the country, is fourth among the El Nino that happened in the world
since 1950; the strongest is on 1997-1998.
Pedrico emphasized that the whole Davao region will be affected by
the dry spell that is looming in the country from September 2015, which will
peak on February 2016 and expected to end on May 2016.

dry spell. (PIA11, Michael Uy)
