Dangerous Heat Index Levels Expected in Fifteen Areas
Fifteen areas in the Philippines are forecasted to experience dangerous heat index levels this Thursday, May 29, according to recent weather reports. This number is notably lower compared to the more than 20 locations affected daily in recent weeks. The four-word keyphrase “dangerous heat index levels” is crucial to understanding the current weather situation.
Masbate City in Masbate is expected to record the highest heat index at 44°C. Additionally, five other areas—including Aparri and Tuguegarao City in Cagayan, Echague in Isabela, Camiling in Tarlac, and Butuan City in Agusan del Norte—may see heat indices reaching 43°C.
Additional Areas Facing High Heat

Understanding Dangerous Heat Index Levels
Local meteorological experts classify heat index values between 42°C and 51°C as “dangerous heat index levels” due to the heightened risk of heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps and heat exhaustion. They warn that prolonged exposure to such conditions can lead to heatstroke, especially among vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and individuals with existing health issues.
Authorities advise residents in affected areas to take precautionary measures, stay hydrated, and avoid outdoor activities during peak heat hours to reduce health risks.
