PAGASA warns of easterlies, isolated rains, and extreme heat in Metro Manila

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) reported that the easterlies will continue to bring cloudy skies with isolated rains across the country on Thursday.

Metro Manila and other regions will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with possible flash floods or landslides during severe thunderstorms.

The heat index in Metro Manila reached a dangerous level of 43 degrees Celsius, posing risks for heat cramps, exhaustion, and stroke.

PAGASA advised the public to limit outdoor activities, stay hydrated, wear protective clothing, and avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks to prevent heat-related illnesses.

Northern Luzon will experience light to moderate southeast winds with slight to moderate coastal waters, while the rest of the country will have east to northeast winds with similar sea conditions.
