Peak of dry season to start in 26 days – PAGASA

“We are in transition period going to dry season or summer…by mid-March, we expect  break of amihan or northeast monsoon,” Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) weather specialist Ana Clauren-Jorda said “danger” heat index of 42 to 51 degrees Celsius is expected in Metro Manila and certain areas as the peak of  dry season will be experienced from end-March until April.

 Heat  index of 46 degrees Celsius is expected at Science Garden in Quezon City on March 3 and 4, based on the two-day forecast of the state weather bureau.

Other areas to experience  danger-level heat index are Clark Airport, Pampanga; Muñoz, Nueva Ecija; Abucay, Bataan and Subic Bay, Olongapo City.

Record-breaking marine heatwaves fueled by climate change and exacerbated by El Niño have caused global devastation in the past two years, based on Nature Climate Change report.

Marine heatwave days increased by 3.5 times in  summers of 2023 and 2024 compared to any other year on record, study found.

Nearly 10 percent of ocean hit record-high temperatures,  study noted.

“In the past two years, marine heatwaves have forced closure of fisheries and aquaculture, increased whale and dolphin strandings and caused  fourth global coral bleaching event,” study said.

“If we keep burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests, marine heatwaves could be 20 to 50 times more frequent and ten times more intense by the end of the century,” it noted.

Oil, coal and gas must be replaced with renewable energy to safeguard ocean life and coastal communities, report said.
