Classes are suspended on Wednesday, August 5, 2026 in multiple areas across Metro Manila due to Tropical Storm Maymay (Kujira) and the enhanced southwest monsoon. This announcement directly affects students, parents, and workers in Quezon City and Metro Manila, allowing them to plan for safety and adjust schedules amid severe weather. Residents should monitor official LGU announcements for specific suspension levels (preschool, elementary, high school, college) and check Rappler’s updating list for their area; no registration required, but stay indoors and avoid travel if possible.
Background
Tropical Storm Maymay (international name Kujira) entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility and intensified the southwest monsoon, bringing heavy rains and flooding risks to Metro Manila.
