Official PAGASA observations for the 24-hour period ending 4 PM on October 12 recorded a maximum of 31.5°C at the Science Garden station in Quezon City, aligning with easterly wind flow and scattered thunderstorms that limited daytime heating. Multiple forecast models consistently project afternoon highs near 30–31°C under partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated showers, consistent with seasonal norms for mid-October when cloud cover and moisture suppress extreme peaks. Market-implied odds reflect this tight consensus, with traders assigning near-certainty to the 31°C threshold. A realistic shift would require an unexpected clearing trend or revised official measurement exceeding 32°C before resolution, though current model runs and real-time data show low probability of such an outcome.
