The extreme precipitation indices were calculated from the observed daily rainfall data from 35 meteorological stations during a 60-year (1951–2010) period of study. Results show that the wet (dry) indices of extreme precipitation are significantly negatively (positively) correlated with the Niño 3.4 index during OND; whereas only few stations have significant correlations during JAS. It was found that the strength of the monsoon, which is measured by the western North Pacific summer monsoon index (WNPMI), is highly correlated with precipitation indices for stations located in the western section of the country during JAS. These findings suggest that while the ENSO controls much of the interannual variation of precipitation indices during OND, the governing influence of monsoonal activity is well-pronounced during JAS, particularly in the western section of the Philippines., Article}, pages = {23--32}, title = {The seasonal role of ENSO and monsoon on the interannual variations of rainfall extremes in the Philippine}, volume = {49}, year = {2014} }
