Cavite was projected to experience another day under the “danger” heat index based on a forecast by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).

According to a report on its social media platform this Monday morning, the weather agency reported that the temperature at Sangley Point, Cavite on Tuesday, 21 April, was going to hit 43 degrees Celsius.

This would mark the third straight day that the said location was under “danger” status since Sunday, 19 April, when the heat was set at a week-long high of 44.

On the other end of the spectrum, various cities in Benguet including Baguio are slated to remain in the mid to low 20s.

Meanwhile, areas in Palawan and Maguindanao are on the verge of hitting dangerous levels at 41 degrees Celsius in the coming day.

PAGASA has stated that prolonged exposure to temperatures between 42 and 51 pose risks of heat exhaustion, cramps, and heat stroke.

Proper hydration during such climate was deemed necessary as it prevents overheating and replenishes sweat, said Indiana University Health.
