Weather - refers to the conditions of the atmosphere at a particular place at a given time.
Weather can vary greatly from one day to the next and even within the same day.
Climate - is the average weather in a certaun place over a longer period.
The Philippines experience a tropical maritime climate.
which means us hot and humid
meteorology is the study f the atmosphere
Types of weather
Sunny day
Cloudy day
Rainy day
Windy day
Stormy day
These determine our choices o what clothes to wear when to travel and wjat outdoor activities to do for the next day or the next week
Weather in the Philippines is monitored by PAGASA
Sunny - Less thsn half th esky has clouds.
Fine - No rain or no clouds
Windy - Winds expected to blwow at 18 km/h or even faster
Rainy Weather - Rain over the area for the whole day
Rain Shower- Intermittent and scattered rain; the rain stops and starts in between short periods
Thunderstorm - A storm produced by cumulonimbus clouds and accompanied by lighting, thunder, gusty winds, and heavy rain.
Weather components
Air temperature - asure of the hotnessor coldness of the atmosphere.
Thermometer - measure the air temperature
Air pressure - weight of the air pressing down on the surface of Earth
Barometer - used to measure air pressure
Humidity - amount of water vapor in the atmosphere
Psychometer - measure humidity
Wind - moving air
Anemometer - measure the speed of the wind
Wind vane - show the direction of thee wind
Cloud - made up of tiny water droplets floating in the atmosphere.
Cloudliness - sed to describe the weather in terms of cloudliness
Precipitation - any moisture that falls from the air to the ground
Weather and Climate
Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions at a specific place and time, varying from day to day.
Climate is the average weather over a longer period.
The Philippines has a tropical maritime climate, characterized by hot and humid conditions.
Types of Weather
Sunny Day: Less than half the sky is covered with clouds.
Cloudy Day: More than half the sky is covered with clouds.
Rainy Day: Continuous rain is expected throughout the day.
Windy Day: Winds are forecasted to blow at 18 km/h or faster.
Stormy Day: Thunderstorms may occur, often with heavy rain and gusty winds.
Monitoring Weather
In the Philippines, weather is monitored by PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration).
Components of Weather
Air Temperature: Measured using a thermometer.
Air Pressure: Weight of air, measured with a barometer.
Humidity: Amount of water vapor in the air, measured using a psychrometer.
Wind: Moving air, measured for speed with an anemometer and direction with a wind vane.
Clouds: Tiny water droplets visible in the atmosphere, indicating weather conditions.
Precipitation: Any moisture falling from the air to the ground.
