122.3.115.13
Possibility remains as of this time as temperature soars at 36C here with some 36.5-37C over some areas most specially over metropolitan areas. As we enter to March Equinox (also known as vernal equinox) the sun is directly over the equator at noon which means equal day and night expected. We expect length of day will be longer than night starting end of march allowing more heat from the sun. We expect to experience the peak of hotter days (possible soaring temperature up to 37-38C or hotter) in between mid april to May wherein sun is directly over the philippines (in manila it is between first week-second week of may) at noon.
however, after this prolonged hot weather, Philippines must brace for the pre-monsoon season as this hotter temperature could lead to severe and intense thunderstorms and possibly hail and tornadic formations to some areas.
