EN: Sultriness, stuffiness, humidity
The official weather report for the Philippines from March to May. It's that 'malagkit' (sticky) feeling the moment you step out of the shower. It's when your powder foundation melts off your face before you even get to the office. It’s the reason we have malls on every corner—not just for shopping, but for the free air-con.
From ka- + alinsangan + -an. Describes the state or quality of being 'maalinsangan' (sultry, humid).
Describes the oppressive, humid heat common in tropical climates, which feels heavy and sticky.
