At 11:24 PM in Mandaluyong, the air hangs heavy with an overcast sky, the temperature a mild 25.8°C. A gentle breeze blows at just 4.9 kph, providing little respite from the stagnant warmth. No rain dots the pavement tonight, the atmosphere as dry as the whispers of leaves brushing against each other.

Earlier today, grey clouds ruled the sky, the sun a mere memory beneath the stubborn overcast. The temperature peaked at a comfortable 27°C, while the wind presented a slightly more vigorous demeanor, gusting up to 18.6 kph at times. Despite the odds favoring a dry day with only a 25% chance of precipitation, the clouds withheld their burden, leaving the streets untouched by rain.

As night deepens over Mandaluyong, the promise of continued overcast conditions lends a quiet consistency to the early hours of tomorrow. The thermometer is expected to dip slightly to 26.1°C. The wind, tired from its daytime efforts, will slow to a leisurely 7.1 kph. Rain remains an unlikely visitor with a scant 3% chance of gracing the city.

In this still tableau of the city’s nocturnal phase, residents and night wanderers alike move under the blanket of an unchanging sky, the pulse of the city beating slowly in tune with the uneventful weather. Shadows stretch across the empty spaces, and the night continues, quiet, serene, and untroubled by the elements.
