Eclarino added that Pagasa-Mactan was not monitoring any low-pressure areas in the country.
“Padayon lang tang magmonitor sa atong mga gi-issue nga thunderstorm advisories and maglikay ta sa kainiton sa panahon. Medyo taas ang atong heat index, so take precautionary measures,” Eclarino said.
(Let’s just continue to monitor our thunderstorm advisories and we just stay away from the heat. It is just because our heat index is a little bit high so take precautionary measures.)
