The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Saturday, April 13, advised the public to limit time spent outdoors, particularly from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
In PAGASA’s latest public forecast, weather specialist Daniel James Villamil said hot and humid weather will persist in the country in the next three days due to the effects of the easterlies or the warm winds from the Pacific Ocean.
Villamil added important advisories for the public to avoid heat stroke including avoiding going outside or doing heavy-duty activities from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m., as the maximum temperatures are mostly being recorded at this period.
He also reminded the public to stay hydrated, stay in well-ventilated areas, and wear light-colored clothes.
Based on the PAGASA’s extended weather outlook from April 14 to 16, the actual air temperatures in some key areas are 24–35°C in Metro Manila, 24-32° in Legazpi City, 17–25°C in Baguio City, 25–32°C in Metro Cebu, 26–32°C in Iloilo City, 25–32°C in Tacloban City, 24–34°C in Metro Davao, 24–33°C in Zamboanga City, and 25–32°C in Cagayan de Oro City.
Meanwhile, over the next 24 hours, PAGASA said Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the easterlies.
It warned the public of flash floods or landslides that may occur during severe thunderstorms.
