Weather & Climate
What Is Weather?
The troposhere is the part of the earth’s atmosphere where weather occurs.
Weather is the atmospheric condition we experience over a short period of
time. The weather forecast for today may be
sunny rainy stormy

What Is Weather?
Weather is the result of six interacting variables, temperature,
pressure, relative humidity, clouds, winds, and precipitation.
Temperature varies widely over the earth's surface, as low as - 30°C
and as high as 40°C. Variations in temperature of the air can cause
important weather conditions.
Maximum and minimum thermometers are used by weathermen.
Atmospheric pressure is measured by a barometer. Under normal

condition that atmosphere can support 29.92 in. of mercury or 76.0 cm.
Relative humidity is measured by a hygrometer.

What Is Weather?
Clouds are classified into: cirrus, stratus, cumulus, and nimbus.
They are described as high, intermediate and low clouds. Rainfall is measured by means
of a rain gauge. The direction and speed of the wind is obtained with an anemometer or
wind vane.
What Is Weather?
Weather describes the short-term state of our atmosphere. This may include information
about the air temperature, precipitation, air pressure and cloud cover.

Climate
is the average weather over a long time
period (usually 30 years) for a particular
region or place.
The climate affects a number of environmental factors within the region including
the type and growth of vegetation and wildlife. The climate is determined by large
scale factors such as the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, the position of the
continents and the composition (make up) of the atmosphere.
Climates Of The
Philippines
First type - two pronounced seasons; one dry from November to
April, the other wet during the rest of the year. Regions in the
western part of Luzon, Mindoro, Negros and Palawan are of this
type. Second Type - no dry season with a maximum rain period from
November to January. Catanduanes, Sorsogon, Albay and parts of
Camarines Norte and Sur and Eastern Mindanao fall in this type
Third type - seasons not very pronounced, dry from November to April and
wet during the rest of the year. Regions with this type are Cagayan, Isabela,
Nueva Vizcaya, Eastern Mountain Province, Southern Quezon, Masbate,
Romblon, Panay, Cebu and Eastern Palawan.
Fourth Type - rainfall evenly distributed throughout the year and affects Batanes
province, Northeastern Luzon, southwestern Camarines Norte, Bontoc, Mindoro,
Marinduque and Southern Mindanao.
Climates Of The Philippines
The prevailing wind systems in the Philippines are the Northeast Monsoon (commonly
known as Amihan) and the Southwest Monsoon (commonly known as Habagat) and the
trade winds. Amihan prevails from November to February while Habagat prevails
during July, August and September. The annual average rainfall in the Philippines is
168.3 mm. The annual average temperature is 27 C
The
Seasons
Seasons occur due to the angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface. When the sun's rays are
closest to the perpendicular at any spot on Earth, that region experiences summer. Six months later the
rays fall upon the same region obliquely, and we have winter. In between are fall and spring. Another effect
of the tilting rays is the length of daylight each day. A location in summer has more daylight per daily
rotation of the Earth than the same location when the Earth is on the opposite side of the sun in winter. An
example is a high latitude where daylight lasts nearly 24 hours during the summer solstice (around June 21)
and night lasts about 24 hours at the winter solstice (around December 21). This latitude is the arctic in the
Northern hemisphere and the Antarctic circle in the southern hemisphere. Halfway between the peaks of
summer and winter solstice, around mid-September and mid-March, the hours of daylight and night are of
equal length. These are called the equinoxes September 21 is the date of the autumnal equinox and March 21
is the date of the spring equinox
