Climate Information
y Refers to average weather (rainfall, temperatures,

winds, relative humidity, cloudiness, etc) of the place over a period which long enough to establish its statistical properties such as mean values, variances, probabilities and extreme events.

Climate Type in the Philippines


Rainfall is the single weather element used to determine the type of climate;  Four types of Climate


Type I
Two pronounced seasons, dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year. Maximum rain period is from June to September during the prevalence of the southwest monsoon. The dry season lasts from three to six or seven months. This type of climate is found in the Ilocos Region, western part of Mt. Province, west of Nueva Ecija, Central Luzon, Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bulacan, Bataan, Zambales, Occidental Mindoro, southern parts of Antique and Iloilo, the northwestern part of Palawan and the southern parts of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental.

N W S E


Locally known as HABAGAT ; Wind is coming from the southwest which very warm and humid; Characterized by heavy rainfall that may last for a week or more especially when there is tropical cyclone east of the country; Affects the country from Jun to September and; The western sections of the country mostly observed maximum rainfall during the period.

NORTHEAST MONSOON
N W S E
  

Locally known as AMIHAN ; Occurs when the cold and intense Asiatic winter anticyclone developed; From the Siberia as a cold and dry air mass, it gathers moisture as it travels across the Pacific ocean reaching the Philippines in the northeast direction; Affects the Philippines especially the eastern sections from October to March and; Characterized by widespread cloudiness with rains and thunderstorms.

Tail End of Cold Front




Occurs when a region of moving cold air mass overtakes a region of moving warm air mass; Characterized largely by an increased cloudiness and heavy rains; Affects the Philippines during the northeast monsoon period specifically from November to February; Eastern parts of the country recorded most of the associated rainfall

Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)


y ITCZ oscillate by season; y it positioned south of the equator from January to March; y along or a little bit north of the equator in April and May; y then oscillate farther north of the country till September and; y gradually go down by October.

Mean Position of the ITCZ

Easterly Waves

perturbations or oscillation embedded in the easterly currents which move from east to west; also known as inverted V formation; the area west of the of the wave trough is characterized by subsidence (fair weather) while the eastern side by convergence (disturbed weather); affects the country in varying intensities; frequent occurrence during the summer months and or during the transition period; accompanied by cloudiness and rains usually along the eastern coasts/orographic obstacles; and on the weather chart from surface up to 300 hPa easterly component is observed.
