Answer:
The Philippines is located in the tropics and the weather and climate prevailing in any particular place in the country is due to its geographical location and the different wind systems that prevail in the locality during the different times of the year.
When we speak of weather, it refers to the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time. Weather is thought of in terms of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, brightness, visibility and wind on a certain day or hour. All these climatic elements are closely associated with each other and determine to a large extent the final outcome of fishpond production.
On the other hand, when we speak of climate, we simply refer to the long term records of weather such as long term average conditions of weather elements, the greatest amount of rainfall or sunshine as the case may be.
The prevailing wind systems in the Philippines are as follows:
Northeast (NE) monsoon - from November to February
Southwest (SW) monsoon - from July to September
Trade winds - winds in the tropics. They generally come from the east. The trade winds prevail during the rest of the year whenever NE monsoons are weak.
The typhoon season is usually from the month of July to November. Most often typhoons touch the islands between the southern tip of Samar and Northern Luzon. Approximately 15 per cent of typhoons strike areas south of Samar. The least frequently visited is Southern Mindanao. Northern Luzon is visited by approximately 35 per cent of typhoons, Central Luzon by 20 per cent while Southern Luzon and the Central and Northern Islands by approximately 30 per cent. Climate in the Philippines has been described in terms of the characteristics of the distribution of rainfall received in a locality during the different months of the year. There are four climatic types in the Philippines based on rainfall distribution. It will be noted that most differences in climatic types from North to South are due to mountain barriers which are high enough to cause variations in rainfall distribution. The different climatic types
