64 areas may reach ‘extreme caution’ heat index on Tuesday, March 11
A total of 64 areas across the country are predicted to reach the "extreme caution" heat index level on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, according to PAGASA.
Areas under this category will experience heat indices ranging from 33 to 41°C.
Masbate City, Zamboanga City, and Catarman, Northern Samar are forecast to have the highest heat index at 41°C.
In Metro Manila, the heat index is projected to reach 39°C at the NAIA Pasay City synoptic station and 38°C at Science Garden, Quezon City.
A heat index within the 33°C to 41°C range can cause heat cramps and exhaustion, and prolonged exposure may lead to heat stroke.
PAGASA previously stated that while hotter temperatures are expected in the coming months, they will not be as extreme as those experienced in 2024.
