VAQUERO, J. M.; GALLEGO, M. C.  y  GARCIA, J. A.. Early meteorological records of Manila: El Niño episode of 1864. Atmósfera [online]. 2005, vol.18, n.3, pp.149-155. ISSN 0187-6236.

The goal of this contribution is to analyze the meteorological observations that the Spanish friar Antonio Llanos registered during the 1858-1865 period in the Philippines Isles. These records were published 140 years ago but have been ignored until now. The data published by Llanos are essentially information about precipitation. These data agree with the existence of an episode of El Niño during 1864 just as previous investigations based in proxy data have noted. Other early meteorological records of the Philippines Isles are presented, as well.
