Understanding Typhoons
Where are the most typhoon affected

areas in the Philippines?
Where are the most

typhoon affected
areas in the
Philippines?
Eastern Visayas, Bicol Region, and northern Luzon,
whereas Mindanao is largely free of typhoons.
Typhoons are getting stronger, the mountain range

and communities are under threat from destructive
activities, and indigenous peoples are becoming more
vulnerable to climate change
Why
indigenous
peoples are
vulnerable
in disasters?

What is
TYPHOON?
TROPICAL CYCLONE
- also called typhoon or “bagyo” in
- an intense circular storm that
originates over warm tropical
oceans, is characterized by low
atmospheric pressure, high winds,
and heavy rain.
Typhoon
Cyclone
HURRICANE
Hurricanes are tropical storms that

form over the North Atlantic Ocean and
Northeast Pacific.
Cyclones are formed over the South

Pacific and Indian Ocean.
Typhoons are formed over the

Northwest Pacific Ocean.

According to Philippine Atmospheric,

Geophysical, and Astronomical
Services Administration (PAGASA),
an average of 20 tropical
cyclones enter the Philippine
Area of Responsibility (PAR) every
year.
Why is
Philippines
prone to
Typhoon?
Why is Philippines prone to

Typhoon?
The Philippines is located in Southeast Asia,
on the eastern rim of the Asiatic
Mediterranean. It is bounded in the west by
the South China Sea; in the east by the Pacific
Ocean; in the south by the Sulu and Celebes
Seas; and in the north by the Bashi Channel.
Philippines is a country in Asia

at latitude 11°48′10.80″ North,
longitude 122°33′46.80″ East.

Typhoon?
The Philippines is prone to tropical

cyclones due to its geographical
location which generally produce
heavy rains and flooding of large areas
and also strong winds which result in
heavy casualties to human life and
destructions to crops and properties.

Typhoon?
Located just above the equator,

the Philippines faces the western
Pacific without much else in the
way to take the force of storms
before they make landfall. Those
warm, equatorial waters power
storms, about 20 typhoons a
year.
How Typhoons
develop?
A tropical cyclones
forms when winds
blow into areas of the
ocean where the
water is warm which
is found near the
equator.
Which is a better
source of water
vapor,
landmasses or
oceans?
According to scientists, the

temperature of ocean water must be
26.5°C or greater. These winds
collect moisture and rise, while
colder air moves in below. This
creates pressure, which causes the
winds to move very quickly.
Tropical cyclones need

water vapor in order to
form.
A typhoon forms when winds blow into areas

of the ocean where the water is warm. These
winds collect moisture and rise, while colder
air moves in below. This creates pressure,
which causes the winds to move very quickly.
1. Typhoons start off as tropical
thunderstorms. The strong winds pull in
moisture from the oceans.
2. The thunderstorms convert the moisture into
heat. The heat causes more air to flow to the
center of the storm causing evaporation.
3. All the heat and air flow toward the eye
creating the typhoon.
Have you
heard about
the PAR?
Philippine Area of
Responsibility
When a weather disturbance
enters the Philippine Area of
Responsibility (PAR), the
weather bureau begins to
monitor it.
Tropical Cyclone
Wind Signal
A Tropical Cyclone Wind Signal

(TCWS) is a plain text warning
to land area that may experience
winds of at least strong breeze
in strength on the Beaufort
Scale (i.e., 39 km/h, 22 kt or
higher) within at most 36 hours
from the time the signal is put
into effect during the passage of
a tropical cyclone.
CATEGORY WIND SPEED

Tropical 61 km/hr or
Depression less
Tropical Storm 62 – 88 km/hr
Severe 89 – 117 km/hr
Tropical Storm
Typhoon 118 – 184
km/hr
Super More than 185
Typhoon km/hr

LEARNING TASK 1. Using the Map of the

Philippines and its vicinity, plot the given points on
the map. Connect the plotted points. The region
within is the Philippine Area of Responsibility or
PAR. It is the job of PAGASA to monitor all tropical
cyclones that enter this area.
Guide Questions:
1. What are the places located in the
identified points?
2. If a typhoon is located at 15°N,
138°E, is it within the PAR?
3. How about if the typhoon is at
19°N, 117° E, is it inside the PAR?
4. Why do you think Philippines
experience an average of 20 to 25
typhoons a year? Explain your
answer.
5. What is the importance of PAR to
us?
LEARNING TASK 2. Shown below are the tracks (paths)

Guide Questions
of four tropical cyclones that entered the PAR in the past
years. The tracks were plotted by PAGASA. Study and 1. Where did the tropical cyclone
analyze the maps form? On land or in the ocean?
2. What can you tell about the track
of the typhoon in 2003-2004?
3. In what direction did the tropical
cyclone move?
4. Which part of the Philippines was
hit by the four tropical cyclones?
5. In the case of Agaton, Yoyong,
and Huaning, where did they die
out? Near land or in the middle of
the ocean?
LEARNING TASK 2. Shown below are the tracks (paths) of

four tropical cyclones that entered the PAR in the past years.
The tracks were plotted by PAGASA. Study and analyze the Typhoons move east to west
maps across the country, heading
north as they go. Storms
most frequently make
landfall on the islands of
eastern Visayas, Bicol
region and northern Luzon
whereas the southern island
and region of Mindanao is
largely free of typhoons.

The tracks were plotted by PAGASA. Study and analyze the Like from the maps above,
maps you can see that tropical
cyclones generally move in
a northwest direction. The
reason is because there are
large-scale winds that push
the tropical cyclones in that
direction. All four tropical
cyclones struck the northern
part of the Philippines.

The tracks were plotted by PAGASA. Study and analyze the Three of the tropical
maps cyclones are weakened and
died out near land. Agaton
dissipated in Luzon, Yoyong
in Taiwan, and Huaning near
Mainland China.

The tracks were plotted by PAGASA. Study and analyze the This means that when
maps
tropical cyclones
reach land, they die
out because they are
cut off from the warm
ocean waters that
keep them going.

The tracks were plotted by PAGASA. Study and analyze the In landmasses the
maps
typhoons weaken
because it loses
energy in cold,
causing them to
vanish if the land
mass is large.

Are you familiar with what we call

“the backbone of Luzon”?
How do natural disasters

affect livelihood in the
Philippines?
Natural disasters can have

catastrophic economic, social, and
environmental impacts. Damage to
infrastructure such as roads,
telecommunications, and power
networks and destruction of assets
like machinery and livestock can
severely obstruct economic activity.
WHY DO STORMS HAVE NAMES?

Tropical storms last a long time and are given names so
they can be identified quickly.
In most places, the first storm of a year will have a name

beginning with A, such as Hurricane Alice, and the next one
gets a name beginning with B.
Weather scientists hold meetings to decide on new names

for the next year.
Names of storms which cause a lot of damage are never

used again.
Assignment:
Give the precautionary measures before, during and
after the typhoon by filling the three columns.
Application:
1. What assistance may
be given to the
survivors of the
disaster? Especially
the indigenous people
who are the most
affected when there
are typhoons.
Application:
2. What help can
you give in
mitigating
disasters in your
barangay?
Application:
3. How can you
help your
community
spread awareness
about emergency
and rescue?
