The agency observed the highest heat index of 45.5 degrees Celsius (°C) in Dagupan, Pangasinan. High air temperatures and high relative humidity are the factors considered in heat index which give high apparent temperatures or indices. The state weather bureau considered heat index of 41°C to 54°C as “dangerous,” meaning heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely, and a heat stroke is probable with continued activity.
