A heat index ranging from 42°C to 51°C indicates impending “danger,” as “heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely,” and “heat stroke is probable with continued activity,” PAGASA said.

Based on PAGASA’s data, the highest heat index recorded since March 1, 2023, was 49℃ on April 16 in Guiuan, Eastern Samar. In the next 24 hours, PAGASA said the entire country will experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms due to the prevalence of the intertropical convergence zone and localized thunderstorms.
The public is advised to exercise caution during severe thunderstorms, as these may trigger landslides or flash floods, especially in areas that are vulnerable to these hazards.
