After the series of storms in my country, extreme heat with a heat index of 38 degrees Celsius follows. It is not easy to go out as if the heat burns our skin. We also experienced a sweltering heat last summer 2024. The heat index reached 54 degrees Celsius, so all classes were converted to online modalities. And because of that experience, President Marcos changed the closing of schools, instead of August 1st week, it was moved 2nd week of March. Summer here starts from March to July. But tertiary levels at universities end classes in August. Though we are used to this climate, we also crave cool days. Also, electric bills will soar during a long hot summer.
