00:04 Good evening, Kapuso!
00:06 I am your Kuya Kim,
00:07 who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:10 Now that it's hot,
00:11 our fellow countrymen have their own ways
00:13 to escape the heat of the moment.
00:15 A technician from Pangasinan discarded
00:17 a water sprinkler on their roof.
00:20 [music]
00:24 To beat the heat,
00:25 the technician from Pangasinan, Warren,
00:27 [music]
00:29 came up with a bright idea.
00:30 He installed it on their roof.
00:32 I started experimenting with misting on the roof.
00:35 I saw a sprinkler in the store.
00:37 [music]
00:38 The sprinkler is where the temperature of the roof rises.
00:43 Is this effective?
00:44 When there is no sprinkler,
00:45 the roof's temperature is 61.
00:47 When it comes to room temperature,
00:49 sometimes it reaches 37 or 38.
00:51 [music]
00:53 When the roof is opened,
00:55 the temperature reading is from 31 to 34.
01:00 On the roof, it's from 45 to 32.
01:03 It's running through the pump.
01:04 But Warren's brain couldn't resist the heat
01:06 because of its build on electricity and water.
01:09 [music]
01:11 Kuya Kim, why is it so hot in the Philippines
01:13 every March to May?
01:15 Kuya Kim, what now?
01:17 When March to May comes,
01:19 it's the hot or dry season here in the Philippines.
01:21 In recent months,
01:22 the northern hemisphere has been tilted
01:24 towards the sun.
01:25 That means the northern hemisphere is exposed to the sun.
01:28 It's likely that the Philippines will be hot
01:31 in the long term.
01:33 There are no monsoons during this time
01:35 where heavy rains and strong winds can fall.
01:37 The heat of the weather
01:39 is also affected by the ridge or extension
01:41 of the high-pressure area and the eastern east.
01:43 The ridge of high-pressure area is a weather system
01:45 that is also called anti-cyclone.
01:47 It is against the rain.
01:48 But it also brings very hot weather.
01:51 The eastern east is the hot wind from the Pacific Ocean
01:54 because it brings moisture from the ocean
01:56 and it's the area of high humidity.
01:59 That's why it's a very bad weather.
02:01 How does the water sprinkler
02:03 of Warren's help with their roof?
02:05 Of course, when we put water,
02:07 the hot galvanized steel roof
02:09 will definitely lower the temperature of the roof.
02:12 The heat will transfer from the roof
02:14 to the water from the garden sprinkler.
02:16 Of course, that water will fall on the ground.
02:19 That's the principle of why the heat of the roof
02:21 and the heat of the house
02:23 will eventually be reduced.
02:25 And as for the concerns about Warren's electricity and water bill,
02:27 don't worry.
02:29 He uses water from their deep well
02:31 while the water sprinklers
02:33 generate the same heat from the sun.
02:35 He installed solar panels himself.
02:38 Aside from installing sprinklers on the roof,
02:40 what other ways to beat the heat this summer?
02:47 According to the forecast,
02:49 we can install foam insulators
02:51 under our roofs or on the walls
02:53 so that the heat will be confined
02:55 and not directly to our house.
02:57 We can also use insulating or thermal paint
02:59 that can improve the thermal performance
03:01 of a surface like a roof or wall.
03:04 We can also look for a green tree
03:06 and don't forget to always hydrate.
03:09 Or drink a lot of water.
03:11 Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,
03:13 tweet or just comment #KuyaKimWhatNow?
03:16 Always remember,
03:18 what's important is what's known.
03:20 I'm Kuya Kim and I'll see you in 24 hours.
