From the Philippine Weather Bureau (PAGASA), the Philippines should expect a hot summer with April temperatures being just the tip of the iceberg. After summer we are told to expect a 3 month rainy season courtesy of La Nina. Last week the 2007 Philippine record temperature was 36.8 degrees Celsius, a week later it was pegged at 37. This weeks record temperature is still far from the Philippine record of 42.2 deg. Celsius.
Filipino’s just have to grin and bear it as well as try to ensure that one is well hydrated. Not to mention to watch out for telltale signs of heat stroke (where the body can’t cool itself anymore causing one to over heat due to too much exposure to heat), especially on the young and elderly.
