This Week in Metro Manila (April 2 to 8, 2018)

Several transportation units such as buses are occupied with vacationers returning to Manila after the Holy Week.

After the Holy Week break, people are now returning to Manila to resume their daily routines. As Manileños return to the city, they are welcomed back by the hot weather and heavy traffic particularly in Quezon City. After bidding farewell to the long weekend, commuters also have to say goodbye to the Uber app as the company merges with Grab.

Weather: Sunny Week Ahead

While Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has yet to declare the official start of summer in the country, the scorching weather continues. According to Accuweather, Manila will experience consistent and partial sunny weather during the weekdays but will have possible chance of rain on the weekends.

Daytime temperature ranges from 31 °C to 34 °C, which means that having an umbrella is a must if you’re heading outside[1]. In case you need to head out for the weekend, bring a hoodie or a cardigan for the cold winds brought by rain.
