'Danger' level heat index forecast for NCR for 2 days
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecasts a "danger" level heat index of up to 46°C for Metro Manila on Monday and Tuesday.
This heat index falls under the "danger" level, putting individuals at risk of heat-related illnesses like heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke.
PAGASA explained that the country is transitioning from the northeast monsoon to a hotter and more humid weather pattern, with easterlies contributing to the rise in heat index.
High heat indices are also expected in Clark Airport in Pampanga and Muñoz, Nueva Ecija.
In response to the extreme heat, several local government units in Metro Manila have suspended classes, and the public is advised to avoid prolonged sun exposure and stay hydrated.
