CEBU CITY, Philippines— The Mactan Bureau of the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) has told CDN Digital that as we expect fair weather this week — this also means that we are expecting hotter days as well.

“Naay posibility nga init gihapon by this week or next week pero atong gina expect nga by June either first week or second week or last week sa May mag start na ang onset sa southwest monsoon,” said Orongan.

(There is a possibility of hotter days again by this week or next week, but we expect that by June either on the first or second week or in the last week of May, the onset of the southwest monsoon will start.)
