MANILA, Philippines — Classes in the City of Manila on Tuesday, Aug. 11, have been suspended due to inclement weather brought by the southwest monsoon or habagat.

Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso announced the suspension on Facebook, saying that the Manila City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department (MCDRRMD) recommended the suspension of classes at all levels in both public and private schools.

According to Domagoso, three of five weather models indicate moderate to heavy rainfall due to the enhanced southwest monsoon, or Habagat.
