Magandang gabi Luzon, Visayas, at Mindanao. Tatlumpung tao ang nawalan ng malay dahil sa matinding init sa gitna ng isang piyesta sa Negros Oriental. Sa ilang bansa sa Asya, naglabas na ng heat wave alert dahil din sa init. Maituturing na rin bang "heat wave" ang nararanasan sa bansa?

00:42 some of them performed street dancing because it was too hot.
00:47 Some of them rested under trees, while some were taken to a local health unit.
00:54 It's okay that all 30 people were killed.
00:58 But this incident proved the danger brought by the dangerous level of heat index.
01:05 Yesterday, 38 out of 68 stations of Pag-asa
01:11 recorded a 42 degree Celsius and higher heat index.
01:16 Our temperatures are a bit high recently
01:20 because of high pressure that affected us, especially in early April.
01:25 So high pressure plays a big role.
01:27 If it's reported that there's a low pressure area,
01:30 it means that it's more likely that it will rain in that area.
01:33 But when it's high pressure, it brings us drier conditions and higher temperatures.
01:40 Is this extreme heat already our version of the heat wave in other countries?
01:44 According to the World Meteorological Organization,
01:48 the heat wave is abnormal heat weather that lasts for days to months
01:54 where the heat index is not yet normal.
01:57 But Pag-asa said that our heat is not enough to be called a heat wave.
02:03 Can we enhance the temperature?
02:05 According to Pag-asa's definition of heat wave,
02:08 the temperature should be increased by 5 degrees
02:11 compared to the average maximum temperature in the past three decades.
02:17 For example, the maximum temperature of Quezon City at 2 p.m.
02:22 which is 34 degrees Celsius, is still far from reaching the heat wave.
02:26 This is the average for 30 years, from 1991 to 2020.
02:31 Then, for example, Tmax, this is the maximum temperature.
02:36 If the month of May is 34.4,
02:39 that means, for example, if we reach 39.5 or 39.4 plus 5,
02:50 our temperature for like 3 to 5 or let's say 5 consecutive days.
02:55 If we observe, we can say that it's a heat wave.
03:02 It is also more likely for the climate in the Philippines to deteriorate
03:05 because of our rugged islands that are different from the mountains
03:09 and are surrounded by seas.
03:11 Tuguegarao is a valley.
03:14 We also call it an urban heat island effect.
03:17 So in the highly urbanized area, the temperature is relatively higher.
03:22 If the area is a valley or in the middle of two mountains, like Cagayan,
03:28 it is more difficult for the wind to blow, so it is hot.
03:31 The urban heat island effect in cities is the heat of the concrete sludge
03:36 that heats the steel and glass in the city.
03:41 But not only in the Philippines, but also in other parts of Asia.
03:45 Like Bangladesh, where the temperature is up to 43 degrees Celsius per week,
03:51 that's why there's a nationwide heat wave alert.
03:54 Cluster homes are suspended and animals are affected.
03:58 It's up to 5 degrees Celsius, which is hotter now
04:01 compared to the same time last year.
04:03 That's why people are praying together to avoid the rain.
04:10 In Thailand, the death toll reached 30 because of the heat stroke.
04:17 That's why people are asking to avoid going out.
04:21 The heat is record-breaking this April in Myanmar.
