Negros Occidental High School (NOHS) students are now allowed to wear civilian clothes due to intense heat while attending classes.

NOHS principal Josette Terorra, in a memorandum released yesterday, said their students are permitted to wear more comfortable clothes.

However, students are allowed to wear white, light-colored and lightweight shirts that conform with the school’s dress code.

Boys must still wear their regular khaki pants, while girls must wear their maroon skirts.

Terorra also advised their students to avoid longer exposure to the sun’s heat, avoid any strenuous activities, and drink water regularly to avoid heat-related illnesses.

The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration, in their weather advisories, said the heat index has increased.

The heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, represents how the heat is actually felt in the human body, when relative humidity is combined with air temperature./DGB, WDJ
