Super Typhoon Inday weather forecast
According to PAGASA's 11:00 p.m. bulletin on Wednesday, July 8, Super Typhoon Inday slightly weakened as it continued moving west-northwestward over the Philippine Sea.
As of 10:00 p.m., the center of the eye was estimated at 1,035 kilometers east of Northern Luzon. It packs maximum sustained winds of 185 km/h, gusts of up to 230 km/h, and a central pressure of 930 hPa.
Areas under TCWS No. 1
PAGASA has maintained Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal (TCWS) No. 1 over the following areas:
- Batanes
- Cagayan, including the Babuyan Islands
- Isabela
- Northeastern portion of Quirino (Maddela)
- Apayao
- Northern portion of Abra (Tineg, Lagayan, Danglas, San Juan, Lagangilang, Licuan-Baay, Malibcong, Lacub, Daguioman, Dolores, and La Paz)
- Kalinga
- Eastern portion of Mountain Province (Natonin and Paracelis)
- Eastern portion of Ifugao (Aguinaldo and Alfonso Lista)
- Ilocos Norte
- Northern portion of Aurora (Dilasag and Casiguran)
- Northern and central portions of Catanduanes (Pandan, Caramoran, Bagamanoc, Panganiban, Viga, Gigmoto, Baras, and San Miguel)
Residents in these areas may experience winds of 39 to 61 km/h, posing a minimal to minor threat to life and property.
PAGASA reminded the public that heavy rainfall and damaging winds may still occur even in areas outside the forecast track and confidence cone.
Track and intensity outlook
Inday is forecast to continue moving west-northwestward over the next 12 hours before turning northwestward while remaining over the Philippine Sea. It may make its closest approach to Extreme Northern Luzon between Friday evening, July 10, and Saturday morning, July 11, before heading toward the southern islands of Japan and the sea north of Taiwan.
The super typhoon is expected to exit the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) on Saturday, July 11, and make landfall over the eastern coast of mainland China on Sunday, July 12.
PAGASA said Inday is expected to maintain its super typhoon strength until Thursday, July 9, before weakening into a typhoon by Thursday evening or Friday morning. However, an earlier weakening remains possible due to increasingly unfavorable environmental conditions.
Automatic Class Suspensions
The Department of Education (DepEd) has issued new guidelines under DepEd Order No. 14, s. 2026, empowering school heads to coordinate with Schools Division Superintendents and Local Government Units in determining CLASS SUSPENSIONS based on actual conditions in their communities.
The new policy allows for granular class suspensions, ensuring that only affected classrooms or grade levels are suspended when necessary, instead of imposing division-wide cancellations. The measure also provides guidance on selecting appropriate learning delivery modes before, during and after emergencies to help maintain continuity of education.
