MANILA, Philippines — The heat index in parts of Cagayan today may reach a dangerous level of 42 degrees Celsius, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
The heat index is forecast over Aparri and Tuguegarao City.
PAGASA said a heat index of 42 degrees Celsius was recorded in Tuguegarao yesterday, with the temperature reaching 36.4 degrees Celsius at 4 p.m.
A heat index between 42 to 51 degrees can cause heat cramps and exhaustion. Heat stroke is probable with continued exposure.
PAGASA said Metro Manila and the rest of the country may see isolated rains due to easterlies and localized thunderstorms.
Temperatures in Metro Manila may range between 23 to 34 degrees Celsius today.
