CATBALOGAN CITY, Samar, April 25 (PIA) -- The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) Senior Meteorological Officer Eddie Dela Cruz bared that the temperature will remain high until the end of April. | |||
Dela Cruz said in a telephone interview today that he expects that rain showers will pour in May. | |||
Yesterday afternoon though, light rain showers poured in the city but it stopped as a high pressure area prevented more downpour, added the weather officer. | |||
The highest temperature that PAGASA Catbalogan recorded was last week when it reached 36 degrees celsius. | |||
“Even during the early mornings when it is supposed to be cooler, it is still warm these days,” he said. | |||
When asked if it is good, he said it is good for upland farmers as they can now plant upland rice, and it is not so good though for non-irrigated areas as the farmers then just have to wait for rains to plant rice. | |||
It is also not too good for urban settlers as the hot days require double time for air-conditioning units and electric fans. | |||
“High consumption of electricity peaks during summer months,” De la Cruz said. | |||
Meanwhile, the sunny weather is favorable to farmers in Calbayog City, 87 kilometers away from the capital city of Catbalogan. | |||
Farmers are busy drying their palay, according to Adela Ocenar, city agriculturist in a text message to PIA-Samar. | |||
Ocenar bared that a remaining 25 percent of palay is still being harvested by farmers in Calbayog City. | |||
“The dry days do not pose a problem to the farmers yet,” said Ocenar. | |||
Planting rice will still be in May to June for Calbayog farmers. (ldl/NBQ-PIA 8, Samar) | |||
