As temperatures rise and summer sets in, the scorching heat becomes a common topic of conversation.



Yet, it's not just the thermometer reading that determines how hot it feels. The heat index, a combination of temperature and humidity, plays a crucial role in how heat affects our bodies and what precautions we need to take to stay safe.

RELATED: 10 Cold Places in the Philippines to Escape the Summer Heat

Loading...

Understanding the Heat Index

The heat index is a measure of what people perceive as the temperature affecting their bodies, accounting for both air temperature and relative humidity.

For example, in Dagupan City, Pangasinan, while the actual air temperature might reach 36.7°C, when combined with 62% relative humidity, the heat index soars to a staggering 51.7°C. This means that people in Dagupan "feel like" it's 51.7°C, emphasizing the significance of humidity in how heat is experienced.




Effects of the Heat Index

According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), the heat index categorizes the level of caution needed based on the combined temperature and humidity:

  • 27°C to 32°C – Caution: Fatigue and heat cramps may occur with prolonged exposure and activity.
  • 33°C to 41°C – Extreme Caution: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, especially with continued activity.
  • 42°C to 51°C – Danger: Heat-related illnesses such as heat cramps, exhaustion, and stroke become likely, particularly with sustained activity.
  • 52°C and above – Extreme Danger: Heat stroke becomes imminent.


Impact of Sunshine

The heat index can be further exacerbated by exposure to sunlight. PAGASA warns that full exposure to sunshine can increase the heat index by an additional 8°C, intensifying the already sweltering conditions. This underscores the importance of seeking shade and staying hydrated, especially during peak sunlight hours.



Protecting Yourself

To mitigate the risks associated with high heat index values, it's essential to take proactive measures:

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, especially when engaging in outdoor activities.

Seek Shade: Limit exposure to direct sunlight and take breaks in shaded areas to cool down.
Dress Appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing to promote ventilation and prevent overheating.

Take Regular Breaks: Avoid prolonged exposure to heat by taking frequent breaks indoors or in shaded areas.

Know the Signs: Be aware of symptoms of heat-related illnesses such as fatigue, cramps, dizziness, and nausea, and seek medical attention if necessary.

Conclusion

As temperatures soar and humidity levels rise, understanding the heat index becomes increasingly important for safeguarding our health and well-being. By recognizing the impact of temperature and humidity on our bodies and taking appropriate precautions, we can stay safe and comfortable during the hot summer months. Remember, it's not just about the temperature – it's about how it feels, and being prepared can make all the difference.

What is Climate Heat Index? (EXPLAINED)


In response to the sweltering temperatures sweeping across the nation, the Department of Education (DepEd) has issued a reminder to schools regarding the suspension of in-person classes in the event of extreme heat. The reminder comes amidst concerns over the health and well-being of students as the heatwave intensifies.



DepEd Spokesperson Michael Poa emphasized that schools have the authority to suspend face-to-face classes and transition to alternative delivery modes (ADM) when faced with adverse weather conditions.

The memo, issued on April 20, serves as a proactive measure to safeguard students' health and ensure optimal learning conditions.

"With varying situations in our schools, it will be the school heads who will determine the need for suspension," Poa stated. "We want to prevent the adverse effects of the scorching weather on our learners' health, so we remind school heads that they can swiftly switch to ADMs."

Loading...

The move comes in light of warnings from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) of even higher heat index values in the coming days.

Recent reports indicate alarming temperatures, with Metro Manila recording its highest temperature yet at 36.2 degrees Celsius. Pagasa forecasts a heat index of up to 56 degrees Celsius in Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, and 50 degrees Celsius in Cabanatuan.



Pagasa categorizes heat indices between 41 and 54 degrees Celsius as "dangerous," with the potential to cause heat-related illnesses such as cramps, exhaustion, and, in extreme cases, heat stroke. 

Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Basic Education, echoed concerns over the impact of the heatwave on students' health. He advocated for the adjustment of the academic calendar to accommodate summer vacation in April-May rather than July-August.



Gatchalian's proposal gains traction following an incident in Cabuyao City, Laguna, where over a hundred students fell ill during a fire drill conducted amidst hot weather. The incident underscores the urgency of addressing the challenges posed by extreme heat on students' safety and well-being.

As temperatures continue to rise, the DepEd's reminder serves as a timely precautionary measure to ensure the health and safety of students across the country. By empowering schools to make informed decisions regarding class suspension, DepEd aims to mitigate the adverse effects of the heatwave on the education sector.
