PAGASA Says HPA to Affect PH Weather Condition
PAGASA – The state weather bureau reported that the ridge of the High-Pressure Area will prevail over most parts of the country.
On Wednesday (April 3, 2024), the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration released the latest weather update in the country. The ridge of the High-Pressure Area and localized thunderstorms will affect the country’s weather conditions.
PAGASA weather specialist Obet Badrina reported that the ridge of the High-Pressure Area will be extending over the eastern section of Luzon.
“Kapag mayroon tayong ridge of high pressure area, maliit ‘yung tyansa na magkaroon tayo ng mga kaulapan o nahihirapang mabuo ‘yung mga kaulapan,” Badrina said.
The localized thunderstorms will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms over Visayas, Palawan, Kalayaan Islands, and Occidental Mindoro.
“Dahil dun, maliit din ‘yung tyansa na magkaroon tayo ng mga pag-ulan, partikular na nga dito sa may silangang bahagi nitong Northern Luzon, partikular sa bahagi ng Cagayan Valley Region,” he added.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will experience similar weather conditions.
Based on the Heat Index chart, Metro Manila is lower at 39 degrees Celsius at the NAIA, Pasay City station, and 38 degrees Celsius at the Science Garden in Quezon City.
The weather agency has warned the public about possible heat cramps and heat exhaustion and continuing activity could lead to heat stroke due to the scorching temperature.
