    Typhoons, thunderstorms, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), monsoons, and easterly waves are weather disturbances that affect the Philippines. A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that forms in the Western Pacific with low pressure, warm rising air, and rotating winds. It has an eye, eye wall, and rain bands. Thunderstorms go through developing, mature, and dissipating stages and can be single cell or multi-cell clusters. The ITCZ and monsoons bring rain, while easterly waves cause thunderstorms and rain in October. Government agencies help during typhoons with warnings and evacuation.

    ■ Inner rain band
    ■ outer rain band
    How typhoon ■ The Surrounding air will moves into a low
    pressure area to replace the warm rising
    air.
    forms ■ When water vapor is rising and condenses
    at high altitude. Heat energy given off
    during condensation causes air to rise
    faster and the surrounding cool, humid,
    air to move into the eye faster.
    ■ Air pressure below the rising air
    decreases further, causing more humid
    air to move into the eye faster.
    ■ A continues supply of energy carries by
    water vapor increases wind speed.

    THUNDERSTORMS
    Thunderstorm

    ■ A weather disturbance accompanied by heavy rain,


    lightning and thunder from a cumulonimbus clouds.
    ■ A thunderstorm is classified as “severe” when it contains
    one or more of the following: hail one inch or greater,
    winds gusting in excess of 50 knots (57.5 mph), or a
    tornado.
    ■ Worldwide, there are an estimated 16 million
    thunderstorms each year, and at any given moment, there
    are roughly 2,000 thunderstorms in progress.
    Stages of ■ The developing stage of a thunderstorm
    is marked by a cumulus cloud that is
    Thunderstorm: being pushed upward by a rising column
    of air (updraft). The cumulus cloud soon
    The developing looks like a tower (called towering
    cumulus) as the updraft continues to
    stage develop. There is little to no rain during
    this stage but occasional lightning.
    The Mature stage

    ■ The thunderstorm enters the mature stage when the updraft continues to feed the storm,
    but precipitation begins to fall out of the storm, creating a downdraft (a column of air
    pushing downward). When the downdraft and rain-cooled air spreads out along the ground
    it forms a gust front, or a line of gusty winds. The mature stage is the most likely time for
    hail, heavy rain, frequent lightning, strong winds, and tornadoes. Eventually, a large amount
    of precipitation is produced and the updraft is overcome by the downdraft beginning the
    dissipating stage.
    Dissipating ■ At the ground, the gust front moves out
    a long distance from the storm and cuts

    Stage off the warm moist air that was feeding


    the thunderstorm. Rainfall decreases in
    intensity, but lightning remains a
    danger.
    STAGES OF
    THUNDERSTORMS
    Types of

    WARNING ICONS
    ■ Thunderstorm Advisory
    ■ This will be issued when
    there is an indication that a
    thunderstorm is threatening
    a specific area(s) within the
    next 2 hours.
    ■ Updates will be issued as
    frequent as necessary.
    ■ This will be disseminated via
    SMS, Social Media, and
    website.
    Thunderstorm Watch

    ■ This will inform the public


    that TSTM formation is likely
    within the next twelve (12)
    hours.
    ■ This is more general than a
    warning.
    ■ This will be disseminated
    thru Social Media, and
    website.
    Thunderstorm Information

    ■ Issued when TSTM is less


    likely within the next twelve
    (12) hours.
    ■ This will be disseminated
    thru Twitter, Facebook, and
    website.
    YELLOW

    ■ This means heavy rainfall of 7.5 - 15 mm in an hour is observed and is expected to continue
    for the next 2 hours. This can be equivalent to 2 gallons of rain per square meter per hour.

    ■ When Pagasa gives yellow advisory, it means that residents in affected areas should
    continue monitoring their weather condition. Flooding for low-lying areas is possible.
    ORANGE

    ■ This means intense rainfall of 15-30mm in an hour is observed and is expected to continue
    for the next 2 hours. This can be equivalent to 4 to 8 gallons of rain per square meter per
    hour.

    ■ When Pagasa gives orange advisory, it means that residents in affected areas should be on
    alert for possible evacuation. Flooding in affected areas is expected.
    RED

    ■ This means torrential rainfall of more than 30mm in an hour is observed and is expected to
    continue for the next 2 hours. This can be equivalent to 8 gallons of rain per square meter per
    hour.

    ■ Continuous rainfall of more than 65mm for 3 hours can also prompt Pagasa to give this advisory.

    ■ When Pagasa gives red advisory, it means that severe flooding in low lying areas is expected and
    residents should start evacuating.
    Precautionary measures
    Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)

    ■ dominant weather system that may bring rain showers and thunderstorms
    ■ When the Northeast trade winds and South west Trade winds meets at the equator ITCZ
    forms.
    Cold
    Front
    Easterly waves and
    Monsoons(HABAGAT)
    ■ Southwest Monsoon or Habagat wind characterized by frequent heavy rainfall and humid
    weather. During Southwest monsoon or hanging Habagat, the high-pressure area is at the
    Australian continent, and the low-pressure area is at North China, Mongolia, and Siberia.
    The gusty winds from the west and excessive rainfall often turn to dangerous typhoons.
    ■ Easterly Waves - also known as Easterlies, are winds coming from the Pacific Ocean,
    bringing warm and humid air. PAGASA said that the easterly wave could prevail during the
    month of October before the northeast monsoon (amihan) breaks in. The eastern parts of
    the country are most likely to experience its effect: thunderstorms and isolated rain
    showers.
