Metro Manila hits records highest temperature at 36.3˚C

Manila just got hotter.

At 36.3˚C, Metro Manila has recorded yet another high last April 12, 2016, according to the state weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

 

 

This temperature was registered at the Science Garden in Quezon City at 3:00 pm, beating the previously recorded highest at 35.7˚C last April 11, Monday.

In March this year, PAGASA has warned that the country may have record-breaking heat in the coming months.

It was in May 11, 1969 when the hottest temperature was registered in the country in Tuguegarao, Cagayan at 42.2˚C. On the other hand, Metro Manila hit its highest at 38.5˚C on May 11, 1987.

With the sweltering heat that may worsen this summer, PAGASA advises the public to ‘exercise extreme caution’ as heat stroke and heat exhaustion may occur.
