The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) urged the public to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities as hotter and more humid conditions are expected during the dry season.
Weather specialist Chenel Dominguez said a high-pressure area ridge is bringing generally fair but sweltering weather over Northern Luzon, with light winds prevailing.
PAGASA warned that the heat index may rise further, especially from late morning to mid-afternoon, increasing health risks.
Despite the prevailing hot weather, isolated thunderstorms may still occur over Metro Manila, Bicol, and nearby areas.
These localized weather systems could bring sudden heavy rains, lightning, and gusty winds in specific areas.
