Frost covers crops in Benguet


Frost was observed covering some vegetable crops in Atok, Benguet amid the colder temperature brought by the Northeast Monsoon (Amihan).

According to a 24 Oras report on Monday, farmers prepare for the frost every Amihan season as it can damage vegetable crops. 

PAGASA also recorded the following temperatures in the following areas: 

  • Itbayat, Batanes 19.3°C
  • Baguio City          15 °C
  • Abucay, Bataan   20.3°C
  • Tanay, Rizal         20.3°C
Earlier today, temperatures in La Trinidad, Benguet, dropped to a chilly 12.9°C.

PAGASA said this is so far the coldest temperature recorded since the Amihan Season began.

However, the Philippines could experience colder temperatures in the following weeks.

The state weather bureau also said the Amihan will bring rains over Luzon while the easterlies will affect some parts of the country. —Mariel Celine Serquiña/RF, GMA Integrated News
