Take a look at how people try to stay cool in hot weather
MANILA, Philippines – The so-called Filipino resilience undergoes a stress test as scorching weather “bakes” the country with elevated heat index levels.
The concrete jungle that is Metro Manila is severely punished by the soaring heat index levels. Several schools have either shifted to or canceled outright face-to-face classes.
The heat index is measured using the air temperature and the relative humidity in a place at a given time. It is also called the feels-like temperature, and it typically soars during the Philippines’ warm and dry season from March to May.
