Angat Dam’s water level rises slightly amid the onset of a very strong El Niño in the Philippines. According to PAGASA, the dam’s level increases by about four centimeters, reaching 209.51 meters on Sunday, as reported by Philstar.com.

This level remains close to the dam’s reference “normal high water level” of 210 meters. GMA News Online similarly reports the modest rise in Angat Dam’s water level on Sunday, linking the change to current El Niño conditions being monitored across the country. Both outlets frame the update as an early indicator during the transition into stronger El Niño-related weather patterns, while emphasizing that the dam is still just below its normal high water mark.
