Study Notes
Typhoons in the Philippines
- Typhoon Haiphong (1881) is the deadliest typhoon in Philippine history.
- Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) hit in 2013 and is the deadliest in modern times.
- The Philippines is located in the Pacific typhoon belt, experiencing around 20 typhoons annually.
Affected Regions
- Region III (Central Luzon), consisting of Pampanga, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, and Bulacan, is the most exposed region to tropical cyclones.
- Northern Luzon, Southeastern Luzon, and Eastern Visayas are particularly at risk for severe tropical weather events.
Monsoons
- Monsoons significantly influence weather patterns in the Philippines, including:
- Amihan (Winter Northeast Monsoon): Brings clear skies and cooler temperatures from October to late March.
- Habagat (Summer Southwest Monsoon): Causes heavy rainfall and severe typhoons from June to September.
