00:00 The hottest temperature in the history of Metro Manila was recorded.

00:05 According to the forecast, the temperature reached 38.8 degrees

00:10 in the Linoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City yesterday.

00:14 It surpassed the last all-time high of 38.6 degrees Celsius in 1915

00:21 which was recorded in the Manila Port area.

00:24 The temperature was also 38.2 degrees Celsius in Quezon City Science Garden.

00:31 Still in the heat of the moment, let's find out the projection of the weather forecast.

00:38 We have on the line the weather specialist Veronica Torres. Good afternoon, ma'am.

00:43 Good afternoon to you and to our viewers on PTV4.

00:48 Yes, ma'am. Regarding the highest temperature, is it possible that it will continue

00:54 or will it be hotter in the next week?

00:57 We are not removing the possibility that our temperatures will possibly increase

01:03 because usually the high temperatures are recorded in the second half of April

01:09 or the first half of May.

01:11 Yes, ma'am. Until when will we experience this intense heat?

01:16 Will you recommend to the DepEd or the government to avoid the heat of the temperature?

01:21 Yes. For now, we expect that the heat of the weather will possibly last.

01:26 While we are in the dry season, we expect it to be hot.

01:30 So, it's possible until May.

01:32 Then, when June comes, our wet season will start or our rainy season.

01:38 With regards to the recommendation of the DepEd,

01:45 I think our admin office is the one who knows the procedure regarding that.

01:50 Yes, ma'am. Is there any indication that the El Nino will be offset soon?

01:56 Are we expected to see rain in the next few months?

01:59 With regards to that, let's just check the forecast of our climate department.

02:11 For now, we can see that the El Nino is continuously weakening in the tropical Pacific.

02:19 Although, its impacts like hotter and drier conditions are still ongoing.

02:25 Also, it's possible for the El Nino to transition to neutral by April, May, June 2024.

02:36 Okay, ma'am. This is the last question. What is your advice to our fellow countrymen?

02:40 If possible, we should not go out, especially when the weather is hot.

02:47 If we are to go out, we should schedule it whenever the weather is good.

02:54 If we are to go out, it's better to bring an umbrella and water.

03:01 Thank you very much for your time, weather specialist Veronica Torres.
