Several local government units (LGUs) in the Philippines have announced the suspension of in-person classes for Monday, August 24, 2026, as a result of the effects of the southwest monsoon, known locally as habagat. According to reports by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, these suspensions are in response to anticipated heavy rain in the Luzon and western Visayas regions.

Rappler also provided a list of areas where classes will not take place on August 24, 2026, citing the monsoon's influence. The decision reflects ongoing weather conditions posed by the southwest monsoon, which is expected to bring significant rainfall.

Further updates indicate that additional suspensions for Tuesday, August 25, 2026, have been announced. The Philippine Daily Inquirer reported that the imposition of these suspensions is due to continuing adverse weather conditions, which are expected to be exacerbated by the impending Typhoon Obet.

Local authorities are taking these measures to ensure the safety of students amid severe weather forecasts. The list of suspended classes for both days is being updated in response to evolving conditions.
