00:00 In the midst of the hot weather, some places in Metro Manila experienced a rain that is called Agua de Mayo.
00:08 This is a sign of the approaching rainy season.
00:12 Rod Laguzan explains in detail.
00:16 Agua de Mayo, the first rain in May.
00:23 In the midst of the hot weather yesterday, it rained in some parts of Metro Manila, along with the heat of the sun.
00:31 The rain experienced was a sign of the approaching rainy season.
00:36 But is this a sign that the weather will get colder because it's raining?
00:40 The explanation of hope, this is still the effect of the hot weather.
00:44 We had a thunderstorm here in the Metro Manila area.
00:47 So we issued a thunderstorm advisory.
00:50 Usually, if we have a thunderstorm, it's the fastest, five minutes, the longest, one to two hours.
00:57 And even if the weather is hot here in our country, especially if we are in the month of May.
01:03 According to the hope, there is a possibility that the localized thunderstorm will spread even more, especially when it reaches afternoon and night.
01:10 This is not yet a sign of the rain and the continuous experience of hot weather.
01:15 The next thing we know is that there is a high heat index in many parts of the country.
01:20 Next, three people were affected by extreme heat in Pilica, Marinesur.
01:25 According to the hope, there may be other factors that affect those affected by the heat.
01:30 Especially the so-called place is one of the places that experienced the highest heat index in the country.
01:36 It is estimated to be 48 degrees Celsius heat index.
01:39 The forecasted heat index here is still high.
01:42 According to the hope, there are places that are really recorded high temperatures or the actual daytime temperature.
01:48 It depends on the local topography.
01:50 It's one of the possible factors.
01:52 Because of the local topography, it also has an effect on, for example, the inflow of air with a higher relative humidity.
02:01 We know that the heat index is a big factor in the recorded temperature and recorded relative humidity at a particular time.
02:10 According to the hope, the urban area or the so-called catchment basin is the place that recorded high temperatures.
02:16 Like Tugagaraw City in Cagayan, where the all-time high temperature was recorded in the country.
02:21 But according to the hope, even if the heat index is not consistent or continuously high in a place,
02:26 it is still possible to record a place with a high heat index.
02:31 The heat index is computed by the highest recorded temperature in a place,
02:36 which is usually from 12 noon to 4 pm, including the relative humidity at the time it was recorded.
02:43 So every 5 pm, the heat index can be released on a particular day.
02:49 And the possibility of recording a 52-degree Celsius high heat index or extreme danger level is not left out.

03:03 The estimated 10 regions that were affected by the El Niño phenomenon received P541 million pesos.
03:10 According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council,
03:15 the regions that were affected by the severe drought are Region 2, Region 4B, Region 6, Region 7, 9, 12,
03:24 and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region and Muslimmen Danau.
03:27 Residents were also affected by family food packs, rice, oil, iron generators, and hygiene kits.
03:34 In 131 cities and towns, the State of Calamity declared the effects of the El Niño.
