Typhoons Batter Philippines, Forecasters Warn of More Extreme Weather Ahead

As authorities in the Philippines continue to assess the devastation caused by Typhoon Kalmaegi and Super Typhoon Fung-wong in recent days, a leading weather forecaster has warned that the country may not be out of the woods yet. According to Jason Nicholls of Accuweather, the Philippines could face more tropical storms before the end of 2025 due to the ongoing La Nina weather pattern.

La Nina, the cooler counterpart to El Nino, is known to weaken wind shear and create conditions that can fuel the formation and strengthening of hurricanes and typhoons. Experts say this is likely a contributing factor to the low-wind shear environment that allowed Hurricane Melissa to wreak havoc in the Caribbean in October.
