Philippine schools cancel classes as major heat wave spreads across Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia was coping with a weekslong heat wave on Monday as record-high temperatures led to school closings in several countries and urgent health warnings throughout the region.
Millions of students in all public schools across the Philippines were ordered to stay home Monday after authorities canceled in-person classes for two days. The main advice for everyone, everywhere has been to avoid outdoor activities and drink plenty of water, but the young and the elderly were told to be especially careful.
Cambodia this year is facing the highest temperatures in 170 years, Chan Yutha, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, told The Associated Press on Monday. His agency has forecast that temperatures in most parts of the country could reach up to 109 degrees Fahrenheit this week.
CDC WARNS OF EXTREME HEAT DANGERS AMID ‘RECORD-BREAKING HIGH TEMPERATURES’
Myanmar’s meteorological department said Monday that seven townships in the central Magway, Mandalay, Sagaing and Bago regions experienced record-high temperatures. Several towns in Myanmar last week were on lists of the hottest spots worldwide.

Chauk township in Magway, historically the country’s hottest region, saw Myanmar’s highest temperature at 118.8 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking the previous record of 117.3 degrees Fahrenheit set in 1968.
The Philippines is among the nations worst affected by the sweltering weather in Southeast Asia, where the intense tropical summer heat worsened by humidity forced class cancelations in recent weeks and sparked fears of water shortages, power outages and damage to agricultural crops.
The Department of Education ordered students in more than 47,000 public schools to switch to home-based and online learning due to health risks from record-high temperatures and a three-day strike starting Monday by drivers who oppose a government program they fear would remove dilapidated passenger jeepneys from streets.
Large crowds have sought relief in air-conditioned shopping malls in Metropolitan Manila, the congested capital region of more than 14 million people where the temperature soared to 101.84 Fahrenheit Saturday, surpassing the record set decades ago, according to weather officials.
PHILIPPINES STRUCK BY DEEP 6.2 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE
In Thailand, temperatures have topped 111 F in some areas in the northern parts of the country, while the capital Bangkok and metropolitan areas have seen temperatures go above 104 F. The forecast from the Meteorological Department said this year’s summer, which usually lasts from late February to late May, is expected to be 1-2 degrees hotter than last year, and rainfall will be lower than average.
Thailand’s Department of Disease Control said last week that at least 30 people have died from heatstroke so far this year, compared to 37 for all of last year.
Scientists have said the number of heat-related deaths around the world has been rising significantly in recent years along with temperatures, but the trend in Asia this year so far is unclear, partly because of the question of how to classify deaths that appear to be heat related.
At least 34 people have fallen ill due to the extreme heat in the Philippines so far this year, including six who died. The Department of Health said it was verifying what exactly caused the deaths.
Media in Bangladesh reported that in a five-day period earlier this month, at least 20 people died from heatstroke.

In Cambodia, however, officials indicated there were few if any heat-related fatalities. The Khmer Times, an online news platform, quoted the head of the Health Department of Phnom Penh, the capital, saying there had been no heat-related deaths or collapses.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WOWK) — The West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office is warning people of a new text scam that is illegally using the State Seal.
The Secretary of State’s Office said in a release Saturday that the scam texts are telling recipients that they failed to pay a fine for a parking or traffic violation, and that they need to use a QR code to pay immediately or go to municipal court on Monday.
Those who receive the scam text are advised not to click on any attachments or use the QR code.
“This is clearly an illegal use of the State Seal to make the message and demand for payment appear legitimate,” Secretary Kris Warner said. “The use of the WV State Seal is clearly prohibited for this kind of message.”
W.Va. Latest News:
Warner said that under WV State Code 521, those guilty of illegally using the WV State Seal can face penalties for fraud or forgery.
Those looking to report a scam email or text can send an email with a screenshot of the scam message to Investigations@wvsos.gov.
