The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) at 5 a.m. Wednesday recorded 9.6 degrees celsius which is the lowest temperature so far recorded this year.
PAGASA weather forecaster Wilson Locando said the temperature in this mountain resort 250 kilometers north of Manila and other parts of the Cordillera region in northern Luzon could further go down until next month due to the effect of the "Siberian winds".
Records show that the all-time low temperature recorded here was 6.8 degrees celsius in 1960.
In Tuba, Benguet particularly atop Mount Santo Tomas, Jun Willy, a resident in the area, noted the drop of the temperature this morning at 8.2 degrees celsius which resulted in the formation of frost commonly known here as "andap" or thin film of ice formed overnight atop grasses and leaves.
In La Trinidad, Benguet, Dominador Dongla, supervisor of the vegetable trading post, said frosting might occur in the high-lying towns of Atok and Buguias due to the cold temperature prevailing in the area. - PNA
