Residents in Cebu are advised to stay indoors and keep hydrated as the heat index reached 40°C on Saturday, April 25, 2026, according to DOST-PAGASA.
PAGASA said today’s heat index remains at the same level, bringing hot and uncomfortable weather conditions across Cebu and nearby areas.
The heat index measures how hot it feels when humidity is factored in with the actual air temperature. High humidity can make the body feel hotter and increase the risk of heat-related illnesses.
A 40°C heat index falls under the Extreme Caution category, which may cause heat cramps and heat exhaustion with prolonged exposure or physical activity.
The public is advised to drink plenty of water, avoid direct sun exposure, and limit outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours.
Amping kanunay, mga bai!
