Isolated thunderstorms help reduce scorching heat

The state weather bureau Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) said that isolated thunderstorms which occurred on Thursday and Friday in some parts of the country have helped the public reduce the feeling of scorching heat due to the dry season.

In a phone interview with PAGASA Climate Monitoring and Prediction officer-in-charge Anthony Lucero, he said this event is part of the seasonal change. Although the dry season will end between the last week of May and the first week of June, El Niño is expected to weaken in the months ahead.
