The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said this city and other parts of the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) will continue to experience lower temperatures compared to other regions and provinces.

“Depende sa altitude or elevation ng area, around 1,500 meters above sea level kasi tayo kaya nakakaranas tayo ng ganitong hangin. Mas mataas na lugar, mas mababang temperature (it depends on the altitude or the elevation of an area and we are about 1,500 meters above sea level that is why we are experiencing this kind of wind. The higher the elevation, the lower the temperature),” engineer Hilario Esperanza, chief meteorologist of the PAGASA-Baguio Synoptic station, said during the Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas on Tuesday.

“May northeast monsoon pa din kasi kaya tayo nakakaranas ng mas mababang temperature (The northeast monsoon is still in effect which is also a reason we are experiencing a colder temperature),” he added, noting there are also isolated thunderstorms that make the atmosphere colder.

Based on PAGASA’s national report, Baguio City’s average maximum temperature since March 23 was 24 degrees Celsius while the lowest was 17 degrees Celsius.

The temperature in the early morning of March 25 was 16.0 degrees Celsius.

In the early morning of Saturday, the lowest temperature was 13.6 degrees Celsius.

Baguio City’s lowest recorded temperature was 6.3 degrees Celsius in the 1960s. In 2020, the city recorded 9 degrees Celsius as the lowest temperature while in 2024, the lowest reading was 9.8 degrees Celsius.

Other areas in the country have been recording a heat index of up to 44 degrees Celsius.

Heat index is defined by the PAGASA as the temperature the body feels which could be affected by the temperature, humidity and other factors in a certain location.(PNA)
