Transportation around Metro Manila will be the main concern for commuters and locals this week. While the weather will be pleasant the entire week, there will be some inconveniences for commuters along Ortigas and Pasig due to the Maynilad road works. But in other parts of Metro Manila, specifically Caloocan and Quezon City, motorists can now use the newly opened North Luzon Expressway Harbor Link Segment 10 to cut their travel time.
Weather: Dry and sunny Metro Manila for the whole week
Expect the air around Metro Manila to be a little humid and dry this week. Day temperature will fall between 33 °C to 34 °C during the day, but nights will be cooler with a temperature range of 23 °C to 25° C [1]. When going out, don’t forget to apply sunscreen on your face and body to prevent sun damage. To check the weather’s status, tune in to the news for more information.
