January is Perhaps the Coldest Month in the Philippines
I’ve been constantly monitoring the weather in Ilocos Norte, Philippines for the past few years now. In my estimation, January is the coldest month in Ilocos Norte and many parts of the Philippines including Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines.
This January, Ilocos Norte has always been cloudy. It’s very cold at night especially during dawn. I had to use a comforter to keep me warm during this time. According to weather reports, the temperature range between 68-82 degrees Fareinheit (not much for those who are used to 50 degrees and below but Filipinos are not used to cold weather. It takes a little while before Filipinos can get used to this weather.
Summer, however, is a total opposite. During summer (March-May), the weather gets so hot many people experience heat stroke and heart attack.
