MANILA, Philippines – Several local government units (LGUs) and schools announced suspension of classes for today, July 17, 2018 (Tuesday), due to inclement weather condition brought by Southwest Monsoon (Habagat) enhanced by Tropical Depression or Bagyong Henry.
In a bulletin at 5:00 am on Tuesday, state weather bureau PAGASA said "Henry" made landfall over Dalupiri Island in Cagayan and now heading towards the Philippine Sea.
RELATED STORIES
Occasional rains with gusty winds are expected over the areas under Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal (TCWS) #1: Batanes, northern portion of Cagayan including Babuyan Group of Islands, northern portion of Apayao and northern portion of Ilocos Norte.
