SOUTHWEST MONSOON
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.
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
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.
