Easterlies, localized thunderstorms to bring rain over Philippines

Easterlies and localized thunderstorms will bring partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms across the Philippines, PAGASA said Sunday.

In its 4 p.m. public weather forecast, PAGASA said Batanes and the Babuyan Islands will be affected by easterlies, which may trigger isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.

Metro Manila and the rest of the country may also experience similar weather conditions due to localized thunderstorms.

The weather bureau warned that severe thunderstorms may cause flash floods or landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas.

Meanwhile, PAGASA said no low-pressure area is currently being monitored for possible tropical cyclone formation as of 2 p.m. Sunday.

Residents are advised to remain alert during thunderstorms and monitor local weather updates.

Automatic Class Suspensions

The Department of Education (DepEd), through DepEd Order No. 14, s. 2026, provides guidelines for class suspensions during emergencies. School heads are empowered to coordinate with Schools Division Superintendents and Local Government Units (LGUs) in determining appropriate class suspensions based on actual conditions in their respective communities.

The policy allows for granular class suspensions, meaning only affected schools, classrooms, or grade levels may be suspended when necessary instead of imposing division-wide cancellations. It also provides guidance on appropriate learning delivery modes before, during, and after emergencies to ensure continuity of education.
