MANILA, Philippines — Most parts of the country will have hot and humid weather on Thursday with a possibility of rain in the afternoon or evening due to the easterlies, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Dala pa rin po nito ‘yung mainit at maalinsangan na panahon lalong-lalo na po ‘yan sa tanghali at ‘yung mga tsansa ng pulo-pulong pag-ulan, pagkulog, pagkidlat sa dakong hapon at gabi,” Pagasa weather specialist Grace Castañeda said.

No gale warning is in effect over the country’s seaboards and no weather disturbance is being monitored, Pagasa added.

“Sa kasalukuyan ay wala po tayong mino-monitor na sama ng panahon na maaaring makaapekto dito sa ating bansa,”  Castaneda added.

(Currently, we are not monitoring any weather disturbance that may affect the country.)

Beat the heat!

Pagasa advised the public to take extra precautions amid the soaring dry season temperatures.

“Stay indoors po or limitahan lamang ‘yung mga outdoor activities at kung hindi naman po maiiwasan ang paglabas ay ‘wag po nating kalilimutan magdala ng mga pananggalang po natin sa init ng araw,” Castañeda said.

“Also, kung magiging matagal po ‘yung activities natin sa labas ay ugaliin po natin or hanggang maaari po, magsuot po tayo ng presko o mga light-colored na damit, ugaliin po natin ‘yung pag-inom po ng tubig, and from time-to-time ay sumilong po tayo or magpahinga po tayo upang maiwasan po natin ‘yung panganib na dala po ng init ng panahon sa ating kalusugan,” she added.

(If you are exposed outdoors for a long period, wear light-colored clothes, drink water, and seek shade or rest from time-to-time to avoid heat-related health concerns.)
