Hot weather, isolated rain showers, localized thunderstorms to prevail over most of PH
The easterlies or the warm air coming from the Pacific Ocean will still be the dominant weather system that may bring partly cloudy to cloudy weather and isolated rain showers or thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said on Wednesday afternoon, April 26.
In the next 24 hours, PAGASA said the easterlies and localized thunderstorms will mostly affect the Visayas and Mindanao.
PAGASA advised the public to remain vigilant as there can be flooding or landslides during severe thunderstorms, which are often associated with sudden heavy rains, lightning, thunder, gusts of wind, and sometimes hail.
Meanwhile, Luzon may continue to experience partly cloudy to cloudy weather.

PAGASA said the highest observed heat on Wednesday was 45 degrees Celsius (℃), which was recorded in Legazpi City, Albay. Based on PAGASA’s definition, heat indices between 42°C and 51°C carry impending “danger” as “heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely” and “heat stroke is probable with continued activity.” Other areas that registered dangerous heat indices on Wednesday were Catarman, Northern Samar (43°C); Dagupan City, Pangasinan (43°C); Zamboanga City, Zamboanga del Sur (43°C); Roxas City, Capiz (42°C); and Sangley Pt., Cavite (42°C). Heat index is the measurement of how hot it feels when relative humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature.
