A La Niña watch alert was issued by the Philippine weather bureau in March, indicating that the phenomenon is likely to occur this year.

Recently, there has been growing concern about whether La Niña has arrived in the Philippines due to the continuous heavy rains caused by several tropical cyclones, such as Enteng and Carina, along with the enhanced effects of the Southwest Monsoon.

In this B-side episode Ana Liza Solis, the assistant weather services chief and the chief of the climate monitoring and prediction section of PAGASA, discusses how the La Niña phenomenon occurs, its effects, and how to prepare for it.
