Extreme heat causing school suspensions

Overview

Extreme heat conditions have led to the suspension of in-person classes in different regions. In Tijuana, Baja California, authorities suspended public school classes due to temperatures reaching 38 to 40 degrees Celsius, combined with power outages and water shortages.

In the Philippines, public schools in several regions, including Western Visayas and Tacloban City, suspended face-to-face instruction as heat index forecasts reached up to 43 degrees Celsius. Affected schools in these areas have transitioned to distance learning modalities, such as online or modular instruction, to protect students and staff.
