Meanwhile, the Department of Education automatically suspends classes at all levels in areas with tropical storm signals; see DepEd Order 37 s. 2022.

Proposal for Adjusted Class Hours Due to Super El Niño
The proposed adjustment to class hours aims to help schools manage the possible effects of Super El Niño, particularly extreme heat. Climate Change Commission Commissioner Albert Dela Cruz proposed shifting classes from the usual 8:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. schedule to 6:00 a.m.–9:00 a.m. during the peak of the phenomenon to help students avoid the hottest hours of the day.
This proposal serves as a proactive measure, especially for public schools with classrooms that may have limited ventilation and cooling facilities. DepEd has also emphasized the need to adjust school hours, improve classroom ventilation, provide hydration, and consider alternative learning arrangements when extreme heat creates health risks.
Weather Forecast for October 23, 2026
At 3:00 PM today, the center of Super Typhoon “ROSAL” (CHAMPI) was estimated to be 1,290 kilometers east of Central Luzon (16.5°N, 134.2°E), based on all available data. It had maximum sustained winds of 195 km/h near the center and gusts up to 240 km/h, moving west-northwest at 25 km/h. Meanwhile, the Northeasterly Windflow is affecting Extreme Northern Luzon.
The Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas may experience cloudy skies with scattered rain and thunderstorms due to Super Typhoon Rosal’s trough. Moderate to at times heavy rainfall could trigger flash floods or landslides, particularly in vulnerable areas. Residents are advised to remain alert and monitor official weather advisories for possible changes in local conditions.
Meanwhile, Batanes, Ilocos Norte, and the Babuyan Islands may experience partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated light rains due to the Northeasterly Windflow, with no significant impacts indicated in the forecast. Metro Manila and the rest of the country may have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms caused by localized thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms may still trigger flash floods or landslides, so the public is encouraged to take necessary precautions and follow updates from PAGASA and local authorities.
