Baguio plunges to 9°C, Metro Manila to 19.3°C on February 21
It was a cold Sunday morning, February 21, as temperatures in Baguio City and Metro Manila dropped to their lowest so far for the 2020-2021 northeast monsoon or hanging amihan period.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Sunday morning that the temperature in Baguio City dropped to 9°C, while 19.3°C was recorded in Metro Manila.
But it was even colder at Benguet State University, where the temperature plummeted to 7.9°C.
The lowest temperature ever recorded in Baguio City was 6.3°C on January 18, 1961, or over 60 years ago.
For Metro Manila, the lowest recorded was 14.5°C on January 11, 1914, or around 107 years ago.
The onset of the northeast monsoon was declared back in November 2020. PAGASA earlier said it could last until February 2021, bringing cold and dry air to the Philippines. – Rappler.com
