After the termination of the Northeast Monsoon and the start of the dry season, recent observations from several DOST-PAGASA stations showed a gradual increase in daily temperature over many parts of the country and the strengthening of the North Pacific High. Furthermore, the number of dry and warm days across the country will continue to increase, though isolated thunderstorms are also likely to occur, especially in the afternoon or evening hours.
The public and all concerned government agencies are advised to take precautionary measures to minimize heat stress, optimize the daily use of water for personal and domestic consumption, and prevent any accompanying health risks associated with this climate condition.
PAGASA will continue to monitor the weather and climate situation of the country. For more information, you may reach us by phone at (02) 8284-0800 local 4801(Weather Forecasting Section) and 4920 (Climate Monitoring and Prediction Section) or through email at information@pagasa.dost.gov.ph; pagasa.climps@gmail.com.
