MANILA, Philippines – Tuguegarao, Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon will again record high heat as the summer season continues to scorch the country.

It that most parts of the country will have partly cloudy to at times cloudy with isolated rainshowers and thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening due to the ridge of a high pressure area extending over Luzon.
