'{{Short description|Climatic features of the Philippines}} {{More footnotes|date=June 2021}} {{Use mdy dates|date=April 2020}} {{Use Philippine English|date=October 2022}} [[File:Koppen-Geiger Map PHL present.svg|thumb|300px]][[File:Climate Map of the Philippines (1951-2010).jpg|thumb|Climate map of the Philippines based on the Modified Coronas' Climate Classification, based on the type of rainfall distribution during the 1951-2021 period.]] [[File:Thunderstorms-Philippines.jpg|thumb|Evening thunderstorms bringing rain over the Philippines is common from March to September.]] The [[Philippines]] has five types of [[climate]]s: [[tropical rainforest climate|tropical rainforest]], [[tropical monsoon climate|tropical monsoon]], [[tropical savanna climate|tropical savanna]], [[humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical]] and [[oceanic climate|oceanic]] (both are in higher-altitude areas) characterized by relatively high temperature, oppressive humidity and plenty of rainfall. There are two [[seasons]] in the country, the wet season and the dry season, based upon the amount of rainfall.<ref name="Seasons" /> This is also dependent on location in the country as some areas experience rain all throughout the year (see [[#Climate types|Climate types]]). Based on temperature, the warmest months of the year are March through October; the winter [[East Asian Monsoon|monsoon]] brings cooler air from November to February. May is the warmest month, and January, the coolest.{{sfn|Coronas|1920}} Weather in the Philippines is monitored and managed by the [[Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration]] (PAGASA). == Rainfall == [[Monsoon]]s are large-scale sea breezes which occur when the temperature on land is significantly warmer or cooler than the temperature of the ocean. Most summer monsoons or southwest monsoons ({{lang-fil|Habagat}}) have a dominant westerly component and a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious amounts of rain (because of the condensation of water vapor in the rising air). The intensity and duration, however, are not uniform from year to year. Winter monsoons or northeast monsoons ({{lang-fil|Amihan}}), by contrast, have a dominant easterly component and a strong tendency to diverge, subside and cause drought. At least 30&nbsp;percent of the annual rainfall in the northern Philippines can be traced to tropical cyclones, while the southern islands receiving less than 10&nbsp;percent of their annual rainfall from tropical cyclones. The wettest known tropical cyclone to impact the archipelago was the July 1911 cyclone, when the total precipitation for Baguio was distributed over the four days as: 14th&nbsp;–&nbsp;{{convert|879.8|mm|in|abbr=on|1}}, 15th&nbsp;–&nbsp;{{convert|733.6|mm|in|abbr=on|1}}, 16th&nbsp;–&nbsp;{{convert|424.9|mm|in|abbr=on|1}}, 17th&nbsp;–&nbsp;{{convert|200.4|mm|in|abbr=on|1}};{{sfn|Coronas|1920|p=110}}<ref name="bag">Glossary of Meteorology.

Those that made landfall or crossed the Philippines, the average was nine per year. In 1993, a record 19 typhoons made landfall in the country making it the most in one year. The fewest per year were 4 during the years 1955, 1958, 1992, and 1997.<ref name="Typhoon">Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.

Because of this, the Super Typhoon ('''STY''') category with more than {{convert|185|km/h|mph kn m/s|abbr=on}} maximum sustained winds was officially adopted.

Over 1,000 went missing and nearly 20,000 were injured. Winds reached {{convert|315|km/h|mph kn m/s|abbr=on}} in one–minute sustained and may have been the strongest storm in history in terms of wind speeds as wind speeds before the 1970s were too high to record. === Typhoon Angela (Rosing, 1995) === Back in 1995, where [[Typhoon Angela]], known as Rosing was an extremely catastrophic category 5 typhoon that made landfall in Catanduanes and made across Manila. Winds reached 290&nbsp;km/h (180&nbsp;mph) on one-minute sustain winds. Rosing took 936 lives and the most powerful typhoon that ever hit Metro Manila. === Typhoon Bopha (Pablo, 2012) === On late December 3, 2012, [[Typhoon Bopha]] or known as Pablo made [[landfall]] on Eastern Mindanao, damage was over US$1.04 billion by winds of 280&nbsp;km/h (175&nbsp;mph) on one-minute sustain winds. Typhoon Bopha was the most powerful typhoon ever hit Mindanao, killing 1,067 people and 834 people were missing. Most of the damage was caused by rushing storm surges and screaming winds. === Typhoon Megi (Juan, 2010)=== [[Typhoon Megi (2010)]] was the strongest storm ever to make landfall in the country in terms of pressure. It reached wind speeds of 295&nbsp;km/h (185&nbsp;mph) on one-minute sustained winds, killing 67 people and costing over US$700 million in damage. == Climate types {{anchor|Coronas Climate Types}} == {| style="text-align:right;float:right;padding-right:0;" |- !

A high amount of moisture or vapor in the air makes hot temperatures feel hotter. This quantity of moisture is due to different factors – the extraordinary [[evaporation]] from the seas that surrounds the country on all sides, to the different [[prevailing winds]] in the different seasons of the year, and finally, to the abundant rains so common in a tropical country. The first may be considered as general causes of the great humidity, which is generally observed in all the islands throughout the year. The last two may influence the different degree of humidity for the different months of the year and for the different regions of the archipelago.{{sfn|Coronas|1920|p=125}} == Seasons == The climate of the country is divided into two main seasons: # the rainy season, from June to the early part of October; # the dry season, from the later part of October to May.

There are two [[seasons]] in the country, the wet season and the dry season, based upon the amount of rainfall.<ref name="Seasons" /> This is also dependent on location in the country as some areas experience rain all throughout the year (see [[#Climate types|Climate types]]). Based on temperature, the warmest months of the year are March through October; the winter [[East Asian Monsoon|monsoon]] brings cooler air from November to February. May is the warmest month, and January, the coolest.{{sfn|Coronas|1920}} Weather in the Philippines is monitored and managed by the [[Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration]] (PAGASA). == Rainfall == [[Monsoon]]s are large-scale sea breezes which occur when the temperature on land is significantly warmer or cooler than the temperature of the ocean. Most summer monsoons or southwest monsoons ({{lang-fil|Habagat}}) have a dominant westerly component and a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious amounts of rain (because of the condensation of water vapor in the rising air). The intensity and duration, however, are not uniform from year to year. Winter monsoons or northeast monsoons ({{lang-fil|Amihan}}), by contrast, have a dominant easterly component and a strong tendency to diverge, subside and cause drought. At least 30&nbsp;percent of the annual rainfall in the northern Philippines can be traced to tropical cyclones, while the southern islands receiving less than 10&nbsp;percent of their annual rainfall from tropical cyclones. The wettest known tropical cyclone to impact the archipelago was the July 1911 cyclone, when the total precipitation for Baguio was distributed over the four days as: 14th&nbsp;–&nbsp;{{convert|879.8|mm|in|abbr=on|1}}, 15th&nbsp;–&nbsp;{{convert|733.6|mm|in|abbr=on|1}}, 16th&nbsp;–&nbsp;{{convert|424.9|mm|in|abbr=on|1}}, 17th&nbsp;–&nbsp;{{convert|200.4|mm|in|abbr=on|1}};{{sfn|Coronas|1920|p=110}}<ref name="bag">Glossary of Meteorology.

Those that made landfall or crossed the Philippines, the average was nine per year. In 1993, a record 19 typhoons made landfall in the country making it the most in one year.

Over 1,000 went missing and nearly 20,000 were injured. Winds reached {{convert|315|km/h|mph kn m/s|abbr=on}} in one–minute sustained and may have been the strongest storm in history in terms of wind speeds as wind speeds before the 1970s were too high to record. === Typhoon Angela (Rosing, 1995) === Back in 1995, where [[Typhoon Angela]], known as Rosing was an extremely catastrophic category 5 typhoon that made landfall in Catanduanes and made across Manila. Winds reached 290&nbsp;km/h (180&nbsp;mph) on one-minute sustain winds. Rosing took 936 lives and the most powerful typhoon that ever hit Metro Manila. === Typhoon Bopha (Pablo, 2012) === On late December 3, 2012, [[Typhoon Bopha]] or known as Pablo made [[landfall]] on Eastern Mindanao, damage was over US$1.04 billion by winds of 280&nbsp;km/h (175&nbsp;mph) on one-minute sustain winds. Typhoon Bopha was the most powerful typhoon ever hit Mindanao, killing 1,067 people and 834 people were missing. Most of the damage was caused by rushing storm surges and screaming winds. === Typhoon Megi (Juan, 2010)=== [[Typhoon Megi (2010)]] was the strongest storm ever to make landfall in the country in terms of pressure. It reached wind speeds of 295&nbsp;km/h (185&nbsp;mph) on one-minute sustained winds, killing 67 people and costing over US$700 million in damage. == Climate types {{anchor|Coronas Climate Types}} == {| style="text-align:right;float:right;padding-right:0;" |- !

A high amount of moisture or vapor in the air makes hot temperatures feel hotter. This quantity of moisture is due to different factors – the extraordinary [[evaporation]] from the seas that surrounds the country on all sides, to the different [[prevailing winds]] in the different seasons of the year, and finally, to the abundant rains so common in a tropical country. The first may be considered as general causes of the great humidity, which is generally observed in all the islands throughout the year. The last two may influence the different degree of humidity for the different months of the year and for the different regions of the archipelago.{{sfn|Coronas|1920|p=125}} == Seasons == The climate of the country is divided into two main seasons: # t {|class="wikitable" style="margin:1em auto; font-size=92%;" |- ! style="width:4em;" | Months ! style="width:14em;" | November–February ! style="width:14em;" | March–May ! style="width:14em;" | June–August ! style="width:14em;" | September–October |- !
