Heat indices in 7 Central Luzon areas remain under ‘extreme caution’ level

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Sunday, March 24, said heat indices of seven areas in Central Luzon were still under “extreme caution” level.

PAGASA said “extreme caution” is needed in areas including Iba, Zambales; Clark Airport, Pampanga; Central Luzon State University (CLSU) Muñoz, Nueva Ecija; Baler, Aurora; Casiguran, Aurora; Abucay, Bataan; and Subic Bay, Olangapo City with a heat index of 37°C.

PAGASA warned of heat cramps and exhaustion in areas under “extreme caution” level, as heat stroke is also probable.

Meanwhile, PAGASA recorded a “dangerous” heat index in La Union at 46°C, which may cause heat stroke during continuing activity. — Lizst Torres Abello
