Metro temperature dips on Christmas Day
MANILA, Philippines - Metro Manila residents woke up to a chilly Christmas yesterday as temperature in the metropolis dipped to 19 degrees Celsius, the state weather bureau said.
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said the coldest temperature was recorded at 6 a.m. at the agency’s Science Garden in Quezon City.
This was the coldest temperature recorded so far in Metro Manila since the northeast monsoon set in last October, it said.
