It’s 9.6ûC in Baguio!

-
BAGUIO CITY — The prevailing "Siberian high" gave this city yesterday its coldest morning ever this year, with the temperature dipping to 9.6 degrees Celsius between 2 and 5 a.m.

Joseph Rios, the weather bureau’s Baguio head, said the "Siberian high pressure area" in the north has been blowing Siberian winds southward, thus the cold front now affecting this city.

Yesterday’s temperature was one degree lower than the 10.6 degrees Celsius recorded on Feb. 16-17 this year.

This was the first time in the past four years that the city’s temperature dropped to single digit; the last was at 9 degrees Celsius sometime in 1997. The city’s coldest was at 6.3 degrees in 1961. Aurora Alambra
