MANILA, Philippines — Hot and humid temperatures are forecast to continue prevailing across the country on Thursday, said the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).

“Inaasahan pa rin natin, dahil sa panahon ng tag-init at epekto ng El Niño, ang maalinsangang panahon pa rin sa bansa,” said Pagasa weather specialist Aldczar Aurelio.
