Metro Manila and neighboring provinces on Friday were lashed by rains brought about by the northeast monsoon, or the cold winds blowing in from Siberia, according to the weather bureau.

Tourism officials and ukay-ukay (secondhand bargain goods) traders in the summer capital rejoiced on Friday when the temperature dropped further to 9.5 degrees Celsius.

No more basking in the sun. It’s time to huddle. Freezing winds blowing from Siberia are bringing the “brrr” in November, so expect cool nights and cold mornings in the days leading to Christmas, the state weather bureau said Friday.
