00:00Again, the hottest temperature in the country, recorded in Sangli Point, Cavite, rose to 48 degrees Celsius.
00:10More than 30 places are in danger level of heat.
00:15And it's possible that it will increase in May.
00:17Many face-to-face classes are suspended.
00:21And Mark Salazar got the news.
00:24The hottest temperature in the country, recorded in Sangli Point, Cavite, rose to 48 degrees Celsius.
00:35More than 30 places are in danger level of heat.
00:41It's possible that it will increase in May.
00:48Especially in the heat of the afternoon,
00:50in between 12 to 3 or sometimes up to 4 in the afternoon,
00:54as much as possible, stay inside the house.
00:57And the house should be well ventilated.
00:59If we are in danger level, there is a high chance that we will get tired quickly.
01:07We will experience heat cramps.
01:09And those who have sensitive health issues, there is a higher chance of experiencing heat stroke.
01:14Pasay City, DRRMO, recorded 43 degrees Celsius heat index,
01:19earlier at 1.01 p.m. in their city.
01:2244 degrees earlier at 1.30 p.m. in Manila.
01:26But Makati, DRRMO, recorded 47.3 degrees and 2.05 p.m.
01:36It is expected that the temperature will rise from 43 to 45 degrees in the next two days.
01:44But there is still hope for May.
01:47So far, for the month of April, our highest computed heat index value has reached 48 degrees Celsius.
01:53So, we're still looking forward.
01:54It's possible that we might be able to record a higher temperature.
01:59That's why Manila City Hall canceled the school entrance for all classes until Friday.
02:06In the health center in Quezon City, one or two residents are getting heat exhaustion every day.
02:14Heat exhaustion is related to symptoms of weakness, sweating.
02:22In some cases, we have patients who say that they have a headache and dizziness.
02:28But this is an early presentation that can be the cause of heat stroke.
02:36It is necessary to seriously monitor the dangerous level of heat index
02:40because heat stroke can die if it is not permanently damaged.
02:46We recommend that they go to a cool place.
02:51They can wet a towel and spread it over their body.
02:56And it's better if they drink a lot of water.
02:59Especially for the elderly, they are at the highest risk of developing heat stroke.
03:05Most of them also have comorbidities like high blood.
03:09Or like those who had a previous stroke.
03:11It can happen again.
03:13It is also recommended to climb trees in the dark to feel fresh.
03:18That's true, said the Philippine native tree enthusiast, Alex Santos.
03:23In his post from El Nido, Palawan a while ago,
03:26he showed how the tree cools the temperature.
03:30Almost 50 degrees on the beach under the sun is colder than 8 degrees when climbing a tree.
03:38And 50 degrees in the middle of the road is only 34 degrees when climbing a tree on the roadside.
03:47But because the tree is rare, for example in Santa Cruz, Manila,
03:52this swimming is the fastest way to feel fresh.
03:55And they have their own pipes to reduce the heat.
04:01The LGU has a free water supply of Tampacan, South Cotabato
04:06where they put drinking stations in some parts of their town.
04:11Along with this, they also put some bus and van terminals.
04:17But when does the heat rise when there is no electricity in the safe aurora?
04:23That's why the class is suspended today,
04:26especially with their place in those experiencing a heat index of more than 40 degrees Celsius.
