Manila forecast to reach 35°C amid warm air

Warm air and strong sunshine to raise temperatures

Temperatures are expected to rise in the Philippines on November 18 as warm air and strong sunshine combine. At around 1,500 m altitude, warm air of +18°C or higher extends widely from the Philippine Sea and continues to warm areas near the surface. With few clouds and strong sunshine, daytime temperatures are likely to climb.

Outlook for major cities

Warm air and strong sunshine are expected to persist during the period. Manila is forecast to reach 35°C on the 18th, with humidity at 48%. On the 19th, clouds are expected to spread and sunshine to weaken, bringing Manila’s temperature down to 34°C. With weaker sunshine, Cebu is forecast to reach 32°C, Davao 31°C and Baguio 24°C; none is expected to reach 35°C.

Try to limit outdoor activity during the day. Drink water regularly and take steps to cope with the heat, such as improving ventilation indoors.
