Global Warming is being blamed for causing unusually cold weather in the Philippines reports the Manila Times.

Global warming is causing the unusually cold nights that have gripped Metro Manila during the past days, the weather bureau said Sunday.

The temperature dipped to the low 20s in degrees Centigrade over the weekend, at a time when nights begin to get uncomfortably warm as summer sets in.

At 6 a.m. Saturday, the temperature monitored at the Science Garden in Diliman, Que�zon City, registered 22 degrees Centigrade. In summer the temperature could reach as high as 37 degrees Centigrade.

Dipping down to 22 degrees Centigrade (in real degrees, that's a bone-chilling 72) is likely to take quite a toll on the homeless population. My guess is they'll be flocking to shelters to escape the cold.
