YES. Manila's April climatological norms consistently push daily maxima into the mid-30s. Current GFS and ECMWF ensemble means for April 28th indicate sustained thermal advection, predicting surface temperatures will easily breach 33°C, frequently reaching 35-36°C under typical ridge amplification. The 31°C threshold is extremely conservative given prevailing synoptic patterns and residual ENSO warmth. 98% YES — invalid if an anomalous, persistent monsoon trough establishes by April 27th.
