On Monday, February 8, the temperature in Metro Manila dipped to 19.4°C, the coldest recorded so far since the northeast monsoon started in Oct last year.
“The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) recorded the lowest temperature at 6:20am at the Science Garden in Agham Road, Quezon City,” reports Helen Flores in The Philippine Star.
The report noted: “It surpassed the previous record of 19.6°C logged by PAGASA on Dec. 29, 2015.”
Now, it isn’t exactly winter, but it’s already quite cold since the metro usually has a temperature of 24°C to 30°C.
Meanwhile, in Baguio City, “the temperature was recorded at 11.5°C on Monday, February 8, slightly higher than the lowest temperature recorded on Jan. 26 at 10.8°C.”
