◢ Calm climate guide · Philippines
EL NIÑO
A practical reading guide for the October 2026 → 2027 planning window — what El Niño is, why it happens, how the Philippines and other countries usually feel it, and how to prepare without panic. Official agencies stay the live authority; this hub is orientation.
This is not an emergency alert. It is education so households, buyers, and LGUs can plan steadily — water, heat, farms, and property diligence included.
