January to April inclusive are less wet than the other months. The backbone of Cebu's hills and mountains can have temperatures lower than the coastal areas.
Temperature lag, also known as thermal inertia, is an important factor in diurnal temperature variation. Peak daily temperature generally occurs after noon, as air keeps absorbing net heat for a period of time from morning through noon and some time thereafter. Similarly, minimum daily temperature generally occurs substantially after midnight ...

Significant weather disturbances, specifically tropical cyclones that enter or develop in the PAR, are given Philippine-specific names.
The TCWS system is the consequence of decades of evolution of early warning systems for tropical cyclones in the Philippines. The first tropical cyclone warning in the country was issued in July 1879. In 1931, the earliest formalized warning system for tropical cyclones was implemented by PAGASA's predecessor, the Philippine Weather Bureau. [5]
