Strong Sunshine Forecast to Push Manila, Philippines, to 35°C

Warm air and strong sunshine to raise temperatures

On November 17, strong sunshine combined with warm air is expected to raise temperatures in the Philippines. Skies will be mostly clear, and sunshine is warming the ground. Warm air of at least +18°C at around 1,500 m is spreading widely from the Philippine Sea, continuing to warm areas near the surface. As a result, daytime temperatures are expected to rise easily.

Outlook for major cities

Strong sunshine and warm air are expected to persist during the period. Manila is forecast to reach 35°C on the 17th, with humidity at 50%. Cebu is forecast to reach 32°C, Davao 30°C under weaker sunshine, and Baguio 22°C; none is expected to reach 35°C.

Try to limit outdoor activities during the day as much as possible. Take precautions against the heat by drinking water regularly and improving airflow indoors.
