As the Earth revolves around the sun, certain regions experience changes in temperature,

daylight hours, and precipitation. For example, when the North Pole tilts towards the sun, it is
summer season in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, with the most direct sunlight and
little to no precipitation. Conversely, when the North Pole tilts away from the sun, it is winter
season in most parts of the Northern Hemisphere, with less direct sunlight and frequent
precipitation.

Seasons are characterized by weather patterns and daylight hours, with the Philippines having
two seasons: wet season and dry season. The country's location on the equator and prevailing
winds contribute to the seasons. The wet season, from June to November, is characterized by
frequent rainfall, high humidity, and abundant rainfall. Typhoons often hit the country during this
season. The Southwest Monsoon or Hanging Habagat brings warm and moist air, causing
heavier rains and stronger typhoons.

The wet season affects people's activities, with farmers planting crops during this season due to
the abundance of rainwater. People prefer warm foods and wear thick, long-sleeved clothes.
The dry season, from December to May, is characterized by less rainfall and dusty soil, with
some crops dying due to insufficient water supply. The Northeast Monsoon or Hanging Amihan
influences the dry season, bringing cool and dry air.

During the dry season, people wear loose and thin light-colored clothes, shorts, and cold foods
and beverages like halo-halo, ice cream, and fruit shakes. These seasons are influenced by the
Earth's tilted axis and revolution around the sun.
