Some classes suspended in Zambales due to Inday-enhanced habagat
On Friday, July 10, 2026, classes in public and private schools across Olongapo City and six towns in Zambales—San Antonio, San Felipe, Botolan, Masinloc, and Palauig—were suspended due to heavy rainfall expected from the southwest monsoon (habagat), which had intensified because of Typhoon Inday. Local officials issued the suspension orders early in the morning, with Subic Mayor Jonathan Khonghun later announcing the cancellation of afternoon classes. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) issued a Yellow Rainfall Warning for parts of Zambales, predicting rainfall rates of up to 7.5 to 15 millimeters per hour over the next three hours. At 11:00 a.m., Pagasa reported that Typhoon Inday was located 570 kilometers east of Itbayat, Batanes, and was continuing to weaken as it moved northwest toward the waters east of Taiwan.
