    exposed and vulnerable to hydrometeorological

    seasons

    Hydrometeorological hazards
    They are brought by extreme meteorological and
    climate phenomena that includes tropical cyclones,
    thunderstorms, tornado (ipo-ipo) drought, and TOP 10

    Monsoons
    A monsoon is a seasonal wind and rains
    pattern, and the word “monsoon”
    believed to be originated from the Arabic
    word mawsim (season), via Portuguese
    and the Dutch monsun. There are two
    known monsoons in the Philippines that
    occur every year: Summer Southwest
    (Habagat) and Winter Northeast Monsoon
    (Amihan).
    1. Amihan: brings cloudless skies and
    nippy mornings during the dry season
    (October to late March)6
    2. Habagat: brings heavy rains and some
    deadly typhoons (June to September)

    Floods
    Flood is as an abnormal progressive rise in the
    water level of a stream that may result in the over-
    flowing by the water of the normal confines of the
    stream. A flood can vary in size, speed of water,
    and duration. Tornado (Ipo-ipo) A tornado is a
    narrow, violently rotating column of air that
    extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. The
    main cause of tornadoes are thunderstorms though
    tornadoes are not common in the Philippines, still it
    can occur at any time of the year
