PAGASA reports colder weather in Baguio, northeast monsoon continues

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported even cooler weather in Baguio City on Tuesday, with temperatures dropping to 14.6 degrees Celsius due to the strengthening northeast monsoon.

Baguio City's temperature of 14.6 degrees is a further drop from last week's recorded low of 15.6 degrees, making it one of the coldest regions in the country.

PAGASA noted that the northeast monsoon or amihan will continue to bring cold and dry air across most parts of the Philippines until February.

In Metro Manila, temperatures ranged between 25 and 31 degrees Celsius, with PAGASA reminding residents to expect cooler conditions and periodic surges in the coming months.

The weather agency also highlighted that La Niña conditions are expected to persist until March 2025, increasing the likelihood of above-normal rainfall and potential flooding.
