 TYPOONS:
-Philippines are often visited by typhoons because we are located above the equator and very
near to the Pacific Ocean which is called the “ring of fire”.

-Storms are fuelled by the warm, tropical waters, which produce roughly 20 typhoons each
year. The Philippines has the world’s hottest ocean temperatures – frequently above 28°C, the
minimum temperature for typhoon formation. This is set to increase with climate change,
increasing the frequency of typhoons.
 -Super Typhoon Haiyan,– known locally as Yolanda – hit eastern Samar Island at 8.40 pm
GMT on 7 November 2013 (4.40 am 8 November local time).

 SPRINGS:
-serve as medical water but they are also geothermal power.

 WATER FALLS:
Importance of waterfalls: a) hydro electric energy
b) income

 CLIMATE
-Tropical and Monsoonal in character.

-The Climate of the Philippines is tropical and maritime. It is characterized by relatively high
temperature, high humidity and abundant rainfall. It is similar in many respects to the climate of
the countries of Central America.
-Temperature, humidity, and rainfall, which are discussed hereunder, are the most important
elements of the country's weather and climate.

-CLIMATE TYPE:
Based on the distribution of rainfall, four climate types are recognized, which are described as
follows:
 Typhoons have a great influence on the climate and weather conditions of the
Philippines. A great portion of the rainfall, humidity and cloudiness are due to the
influence of typhoons.
 They generally originate in the region of the Marianas and Caroline Islands of the Pacific
Ocean which have the same latitudinal location as Mindanao.
 Their movements follow a northwesterly direction, sparing Mindanao from being directly
hit by majorty of the typhoons that cross the country. This makes the southern Philippines
very desirable for agriculture and industrial development.

 SEASONS
Two (2) distinct season: a) dry season- December to May
b) Rainy/wet season- June to November

Coldest month: January

Hottest month: May and June
*The dry season may be subdivided further into- (a) the cool dry season, from December to
February; and
 (b) the hot dry season, from March to May.
