As of 11:00 PM, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA has reported that typhoon “Julian” (international name: Krathon) was last spotted at 125 km. southeast of Basco, Batanes (19.7°N, 122.9°E).

“Julian” has maximum sustained winds of 150 kilometers per hour (KPH) near the center, gustiness of up to 187 KPH, and central pressure of 960 hPa. It is presently moving northwestward at 15 KPH, while its strong to typhoon-force winds extend outwards up to 520 km. from the center.

The state weather bureau has raised tropical cyclone wind signals over the following areas:

In line with this, several local government units have announced the suspension of face-to-face classes in their respective constituencies for September 30, Monday.

Based on Department of Education order #37-2022 signed by Vice President and then-Secretary Sara Duterte-Carpio, classes up to senior high school are automatically suspended in areas where a red or orange rainfall warning has been raised. The same goes in areas where a storm warning signal has been raised.

Local government executives, meanwhile, have the discretion to suspend classes even if no storm warning signal or rainfall warning has been raised in their respective constituencies.
