The Philippines was transitioning to the wet season when Typhoon Aghon entered the country last week. Aghon brought much-needed rain to communities affected by El Niño-induced drought, but it also caused fatalities and the proclamation of a state of calamity in several parts of Luzon.Meanwhile, the heat index reached 55°C in Guiuan, Eastern Samar on May 26, the highest so far this year, while Aghon was in Philippine territory.
“We expect na by June ay mababawasan or kokonti na yung mga stations sa ating bansa na nasa danger category which is 42°C to 51°C na heat index… mga stations like yung Virac, nakita natin sa records niya for the past several years na even kahit na ber months ay may mga mataas o nasa danger category pa rin tayo nakita pero lesser na siya o yung mga lugar na yun ay limited at konti na lang,” said PAGASA weather specialist John Manalo in an interview with GMA News Online.
