The Philippines will continue to experience cold weather, especially during nights and early mornings, due to the Amihan or Northeast Monsoon, according to the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

This cold weather is expected to intensify from January to February, with the presence of the Amihan and easterlies contributing to the formation of a shear line that will cause rainfall in parts of the country.

Early this morning, January 6, 2025, the coldest temperature recorded in Baguio City was 15°C. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Baguio was 6.3°C on January 18, 1961.

In Taguig City, the coldest temperature recorded this morning was 24°C.

Meanwhile, PAGASA warns that the country will continue to experience continuous rainfall similar to La Niña in the coming months. However, PAGASA has yet to declare it a La Niña season.

By February, according to PAGASA, rainfall may become stronger and more frequent.
