US Embassy cancels all Friday appointments due to heavy rain from Isang

The U.S. Embassy in the Philippines cancelled all appointments for the rest of Friday, August 22, due to heavy rainfall.

Embassy officials advised affected individuals to wait for further details or contact ACSInfoManila@state.gov for rescheduling information.

Tropical Depression 'Isang' is causing heavy rains in parts of Luzon, although no Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal is hoisted over Metro Manila.

The Southwest Monsoon, slightly enhanced by Isang, has brought gale-force gusts to the capital region.

Several local government units have suspended classes on Friday due to adverse weather conditions.
