'The rainy season could start from June 1 up to its second week, but there is still a possibility that its formal onset could be beyond June 15,' she said in a TV interview.'But as we can see, we still have to experience the first typhoon of the year that might take place within the month and would be named Aghon, once it enters PAR,' Solis added.
