The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) office here on Tuesday confirmed that this mountain resort will have higher temperature averages in the next few days due to the end of the northeasterly winds.
Wilson Locando, senior weather forecaster, said the easterly winds will have its advent during the middle of this week which will contribute to make temperatures here at the average of 15 to 27 degrees celsius.
Towards the end of the northeasterly winds affecting this part of the country, the PAGASA in the past three days still recorded cool 14 degrees celsius as the minimum temperature.
Locando said the cool temperature here even during the dry months of February to May make Baguio and suburbs as very attractive to visitors from the lowlands of the country whose temperatures have distinctly higher than these highlands of Cordilleras.
Meanwhile, the announcement of PAGASA on higher temperatures have prompted the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to once again raise the vigilance of all its forest guards and the communities against forest fires.
Forest fires are most prevalent in the area from this month to the middle of May when the dried "fuel" (dried leaves, grass and twigs) within forested zones easily catch fire.
