WEATHER ADVISORY
This week in Tagaytay will start with cloudy and slightly rainy days. The latter part of the week will have a couple of thunderstorms, so keeping an umbrella or rain coat handy is advised. Now that the ‘ber’ months have started, travelers should also be sure to bring a comfy jacket especially in the afternoon and the evening. Tagaytay gets much colder as Christmas closes in.
TRAFFIC NEWS
When driving up from Manila to Tagaytay on a Friday or weekend, taking the Sta. Rosa route via SLEX is faster. Traffic, however, may also start to build up after passing Nuvali. Extra caution is advised especially at night as it tends to get foggy in Tagaytay.
