<p>But Ana Lisa Solis, chief of the PAGASA Climate Monitoring and Prediction Section, said that while localized rains have somewhat eased the effects of drought due to El Ni&ntilde;o, the country is still in its warm and dry season, with a number of areas still experiencing dangerous heat indices.&nbsp;</p><p>&ldquo;Sa ngayon, may mga areas pa rin po na matataas pa rin iyong heat index natin or iyong nandoon sa danger level natin. But dito sa Metro Manila, asahan po natin na ngayon nasa may danger level pa dito po sa may parte ng Pasig City, sa Metro Manila. Pero sa susunod na mga araw ay possible na po na unti-unti nang bababa iyong ating heat index,&rdquo; she said.</p><style type="text/css" id="isPasted">

So, sa ngayon po ay wala pa po tayong namamataan na bagyo; hindi pa po tayo nakakaisa. So ang possible po ay below number ng tropical cyclone, ito po ay mga possibility pa rin na mayroong mga lubhang mapaminsala na mga bagyo,&rdquo; Solis said.&nbsp;</p><p>&ldquo;Kung hindi man po malakas ang hangin na dulot nito ay kung hindi baka marami ding ulan iyong dulot nito. So dalawa po iyong extreme events na posibleng maidulot ng ating bagyo &ndash; sakaling malakas ang hangin or marami iyong pag-uulan. So lahat po ng iyon ay may posibilidad po ngayon.&rdquo;</p>
