Climate of the Philippines

The Climate of the Philippines is tropical and maritime. It is characterized by relatively high temperature, high humidity and abundant rainfall. It is similar in many respects to the climate of the countries of Central America. Temperature, humidity, and rainfall, which are discussed hereunder, are the most important elements of the country's weather and climate.

Temperature

Based on the average of all weather stations in the Philippines, excluding Baguio, the mean annual temperature is 26.6^o C. The coolest months fall in January with a mean temperature of 25.5^o C while the warmest month occurs in May with a mean temperature of 28.3^o C. Latitude is an insignificant factor in the variation of temperature while altitude shows greater contrast in temperature. Thus, the mean annual temperature of Baguio with an elevation of 1,500 meters is 18.3^o C. This makes the temperature of Baguio comparable with those in the temperate climate and because of this, it is known as the summer capital of the Philippines.

The difference between the mean annual temperature of the southernmost station in Zamboanga and that of the northermost station in Laoag is insignificant. In other words, there is essentially no difference in the mean annual temperature of places in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao measured at or near sea level.

Humidity

Humidity refers to the moisture content of the atmosphere. Due to high temperature and the surrounding bodies of water, the Philippines has a high relative humidity. The average monthly relative humidty varies between 71 percent in March and 85 percent in September. The combination of warm temperature and high relative and absolute humidities give rise to high sensible temperature throughout the archipelago. It is especially uncomfortable during March to May, when temperature and humidity attain their maximum levels.

Rainfall

Rainfall is the most important climatic element in the Philippines. Rainfall distribution throughout the country varies from one region to another, depending upon the direction of the moisture-bearing winds and the location of the mountain systems.

The mean annual rainfall of the Philippines varies from 965 to 4,064 millimeters annually. Baguio City, eastern Samar, and eastern Surigao receive the greatest amount of rainfall while the southern portion of Cotabato receives the least amount of rain. At General Santos City in Cotabato, the average annual rainfall is only 978 millimeters.

The Seasons

Using temperature and rainfall as bases, the climate of the country can be divided into two major seasons: (1) the rainy season, from June to November; and (2) the dry season, from December to May. The dry season may be subdivided further into (a) the cool dry season, from December to February; and (b) the hot dry season, from March to May.

Typhoons have a great influence on the climate and weather conditions of the Philippines. A great portion of the rainfall, humidity and cloudiness are due to the influence of typhoons. They generally originate in the region of the Marianas and Caroline Islands of the Pacific Ocean which have the same latitudinal location as Mindanao. Their movements follow a northwesterly direction, sparing Mindanao from being directly hit by majorty of the typhoons that cross the country. This makes the southern Philippines very desirable for agriculture and industrial development.

About the Philippines

THE PHILIPPINES

Geography: The Philippine archipelago is composed of 7107 islands comprising a total land area of about 300,000 square kilometers and a total coastline of around 34,539 kilometers. In size, it is bigger than Great Britain and twice the size of Greece. The entire archipelago is divided into three major groups of islands which are Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Five prominent bodies of water surround the archipelago, namely: the Pacific Ocean, the Philippine Sea, the South China Sea, the Sulu Sea, and Celebes Sea.

Climate: The Philippine's tropical climate has a relatively high humidity, mild temperature, abundant rainfall and gentle winds with three pronounced seasons: wet or rainy season from June to October; cool and dry from November to February; hot and dry from March to May.

Language: There are 11 cultural and racial groups, each with it's own language. The major linguistic groups are Tagalog, Ilocano, Cebuano, Hiligaynon, Bicol, Waray, Pampango and Pangasinan. English is widely used in government, business, and as a medium of instruction in schools. Spanish, Arabic and Chinese are spoken by only a minority of the population.

History: Long before the Europeans came to Asia, the Filipinos were already civilized. They possessed a Malayan civilization which had been enriched by Indian, Chinese and Arabic influences. On March 16, 1521, Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese voyager in Spain's service, made the first European contact with the Filipinos after which followed three centuries of Spanish Colonial rule. Towards the end of the 19th century, Jose Rizal, a multi-faceted genius led the reform movement. Rizal is the country's national hero and is regarded as Southeast Asia's first martyr to nationalism. On June 1898, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo declared the independence of the Philippines from Spain at Kawit, Cavite. That independence was short-lived, however, since the American again colonized the country for almost 50 years. On July 4, 1946, independence was gained from the Americans. The colonial experience wrought under the Spanish and American administration has left it's mark on Filipino religion, language and culture.
