Hot Winds and High Humidity Anticipated as Rainfall Abates in NCR

The cessation of rain over the National Capital Region brings a new set of challenges. Meteorologists warn that, although clouds will linger, the atmosphere will stay dry through July 18. Daytime temperatures are projected to rise steadily, reaching a peak of 38°C by mid‑week, with nighttime temperatures staying above 27°C. Humidity is likely to stay in the 50‑65% range, creating a sticky feel. Strong surface winds are expected on several days, adding to the perception of heat. No official alerts have been released, but citizens should brace for a sweltering spell as the brief cooling effect of recent showers wanes.
