BAGUIO CITY – Students bundled up in jackets and scarves returned to school on Monday, January 5, 2026, under a brisk 13.6°C morning—the lowest recorded so far this year—courtesy of the strengthened northeast monsoon (amihan). PAGASA logged the temperature at 5 a.m., with foggy conditions and light drizzles adding to the chill across the City of Pines.
Schools reopened after the holiday break, with learners navigating misty streets like Session Road and Burnham Park areas. Parents and teachers noted the “Christmas-like cold,” prompting extra layers and hot drinks for the commute.
PAGASA forecasts amihan to persist through January, with occasional dips below 13°C possible—ideal for Baguio’s signature sweater weather but a reminder to stay warm and healthy.
Welcome back to class—stay cozy, Baguio scholars! 🥶📚
