𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗫 𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗥𝗧 | DdOSCians, stay cool and stay safe!

For August 13, 2026, the heat index may reach levels that require extra caution. PAGASA classifies a heat index of 33°C–41°C as “Extreme Caution,” where heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible, while continued exposure may lead to heat stroke. A heat index of 42°C–51°C falls under “Danger,” where heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely and heat stroke becomes probable with prolonged exposure.

As temperatures rise, everyone is encouraged to stay hydrated, take breaks in cool or shaded areas, avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak hours, and watch for signs of heat exhaustion such as dizziness, weakness, headache, nausea, and excessive sweating.

DdOSC President Dr. Lilybeth M. Matunhay reminds everyone to look out for themselves and for one another, especially during periods of intense heat.

Hydrate. Take breaks. Stay cool. Stay safe.

Amping tang tanan, DdOSCians!
