PAGASA Releases Latest Weather Update for Monday (April 1, 2024)
PAGASA LATEST UPDATE – The state weather bureau reported that the ridge of high pressure area will prevailed over most parts of the country.
On Monday (April 1, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The ridge of a high pressure area will affect the country’s weather condition.
PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina reported that the ridge of a high pressure area is extending over the eastern sections of Northern and Central Luzon. Lesser clouds are expected to form over the affected areas.
However, a slim chance of rain is still expected over the affected areas.
“Kapag meron tayong ridge o ito ang bahagi ng high pressure area, ang kaibahan nito sa low pressure area ay mas walang masyadong nabubuang kaulapan. Kasi kung ang low pressure area ay nagkakaroon ng papasok na hangin at nagkakaroon ng kaulapan, ang ridge of high pressure area ay papalabas naman ang hangin kaya wala masyadong kaulapan na nabubuo dito sa area kung saan meron tayong ridge ng high pressure area,” Badrina said.
Here are the heat index in various areas:
- Metro Manila: 25 to 34 degrees Celsius
- Baguio City: 16 to 27 degrees Celsius
- Laoag City: 26 to 33 degrees Celsius
- Tuguegarao: 24 to 36 degrees Celsius
