Cebu braces for scorching weekend with heat index near 35°C
Cebu is set for warm and mostly dry conditions this weekend. While temperatures will stay between 25 and 31 degrees Celsius, the heat index could climb to around 35 degrees. Residents have been urged to take precautions against the rising heat. The current weather in Cebu is shaped by dry winds, keeping conditions fair with only a slight chance of isolated showers. Over the coming weeks, temperatures are expected to rise gradually, potentially hitting 40 degrees Celsius by May.
Health officials advise people to stay hydrated and limit time in direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to the sun increases the risk of dehydration, especially as the heat intensifies. With temperatures forecasted to peak in May, residents should prepare for hotter days ahead. The combination of dry winds and high heat means extra care will be needed to avoid heat-related issues. Authorities continue to monitor conditions closely.
