Isa sa mga senyales ng paglala ng climate change ay ang patuloy na pagtaas ng temperatura sa mundo. Ayon sa mga eksperto, mahalagang malaman natin ang temperatura araw-araw. Pero, napapaisip ba kayo kung paano nasusukat ang temperatura sa iba’t ibang lugar sa bansa? Here's what you need to know.

00:00Are you also wondering how the temperature in some places is measured by hope?

00:05And why is it important for us to know this information?

00:10I got you!

00:11I'm Yumer Yanga, and this is what you need to know.

00:20Not only in the Philippines, high temperatures were recorded in the month of April.

00:24According to studies, 2024 is the hottest month in history.

00:30But April is not the only record-breaking month.

00:33All the months since June 2023 are recorded as the hottest months in history.

00:40That's why 2023 is the hottest year since 1850.

00:45In the Philippines, the hope is the agency that is responsible for monitoring the climate and temperature.

00:50The information about the temperature can be used by our countrymen to protect themselves.

01:00For example, in hot weather, or for diseases like heat stroke.

01:07They use different weather instruments here.

01:10There are new instruments, but manuals are still present.

01:14They also measure the temperature.

01:17Here at Science Garden Complex Station in Quezon City,

01:20you can find one of the thermometer shelters of hope.

01:25The thermometer shelter serves as a protection for different types of weather thermometers

01:30against the direct effects of sun and rain.

01:33We are the only station in Quezon City.

01:36In Metro Manila, we also have the Naia.

01:39Only two.

01:40We get it every hour.

01:4310 minutes before the hour of 5 a.m., then 8 a.m., 9, 10, 11, 12, until 5 a.m. again.

01:53So every hour, we mark the highest temperature level.

02:00These are the dry bulb and wet bulb thermometers that are collected by the agency.

02:05These are the dry bulb and wet bulb thermometers that are collected by the agency.

02:11The air temperature is obtained through the dry bulb.

02:18The temperatures obtained from the dry and wet bulb are the same parameters

02:21in obtaining relative humidity or the amount of moisture in the air.

02:26With the help of this psychrometric table,

02:28the value of relative humidity is known

02:31using the corresponding readings from the dry and wet bulb thermometer.

02:35The combined effect of the temperature of the air

02:38and relative humidity is based on the heat index

02:42or the heat that the body feels.

02:46In the whole country, there are 58 temperature sensors.

02:50I noticed that we still encode and gather data manually from outside, from our sensors.

02:58So, why?

02:59Because you'll get the actual air temperature from the environment.

03:04It's expected that we'll have a power failure.

03:08There will be no more technology, computer, and everything.

03:12So, how will we defend ourselves?

03:14With technology.

03:16In Iba, Zambales, the highest heat index was recorded in April.

03:20It reached 53 degrees Celsius.

03:24This year, 38.2 degrees Celsius is the highest actual temperature recorded in Metro Manila.

03:30It's just, you know, it's scary that it's still rising.

03:33But up to that point, it didn't go up to 38.2.

03:36That was in April.

03:38So, it's really hot.

03:40According to historical records, the temperature in the country rises every May.

03:45But according to Pag-asa, the worst is over when it comes to the intense heat of the time.

03:50The heat index is still high in other places,

03:53but it's not because of the intense experience of April.

03:56Is it possible for the storms to get stronger in the coming months?

04:01It's possible.

04:02Because of climate change, the rise in temperature is also a contributing factor

04:07in the intensity of the storms.

04:12It's not just simple numbers or predictions of the weather.

04:16They serve as a direction for our well-being.

04:19It's important to be prepared,

04:21whether it's raining or snowing.

04:23It's important to be prepared,

04:25whether it's raining or snowing.
