MANILA, Philippines—Most parts of the country will have hot and humid weather as temperatures continue to rise and could even reach dangerous levels, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Monday. Metro Manila will swelter at 38 degrees Celsius today, weather specialist Chenel Dominguez said. She said the ridge of the high pressure area, an elongated region of sinking, cool, and dry air that acts as an atmospheric cap, will bring sunny and hot weather with light winds in Northern and Central Luzon. The highest heat index today would be in Dumangas, Iloilo at 42 degrees Celsius, listed under the danger category. The heat index is the human discomfort index from the air temperature and relative humidity. “This is what people perceive or feel as the temperature affecting their body, and may differ from actual temperatures,” Dominguez said.
