PAGASA says 2024 temperatures hotter than this year
The Philippines can expect a less intense dry season in 2025 compared to the previous year, according to Pagasa.
While hot temperatures are still possible, they are not predicted to be as scorching as in 2024, which was affected by a strong El Niño.
Pagasa spokesperson Ana Liza Solis stated that record-breaking temperatures and high heat indices were observed last year.
However, this year, heat indices could still reach as high as 48°C to 50°C, with maximum daytime temperatures potentially peaking in late April or early May.
Specifically, temperatures in May could range between 39.6°C and 39.8°C.
