Expect the same weather condition yesterday as the Ridge of High Pressure Area continues to prevail over Luzon.

The whole archipelago will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening. Bringing an umbrella is advisable to avoid any weather-related hassles this Thursday.

Sea travel can be enjoyed with light to moderate winds and slight to moderate waves in the following hours.

To look back on the month that was, here are the highest temperatures recorded in the Philippines, including Metro Manila, during the month of May 2015:

According to PAGASA Weather Forecaster Buddy Javier, we no longer expect to hit such temperatures this month as thunderstorms will be more frequent in the following days.

Despite this, we will continue to experience hot and humid weather conditions due to the prevailing El Niño phenomenon, which will also affect the amount of rainfall.

The good weather continues in the Philippines this week.

Based on PAGASA’s latest weather forecast, the weakened northeast monsoon still only reaches the extreme Northern Luzon area.

Today, the whole archipelago will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Meanwhile, as we anticipate the coming of the Hot and Dry season in the country, PAGASA Weather Forecaster Gener Quitlong shares the highest temperatures ever recorded in Philippine history.

1) On May 11, 1969, Tuguegarao City peaked at 42.2 degrees Celsius.

2) In Metro Manila, 38.5 degrees Celsius was recorded making May 14, 1987 the hottest day in the metro.

The closest the records got to being broken was when Cabanatuan City experienced 40.4 degrees Celsius in the year 2002.
