Quarter 2: Video lesson 7 “Tracking the

path of a tropical cyclone”

The Philippines is located just above the equator and faces the
western Pacific, with little else to absorb the energy of storms
before they hit land. Storms are fuelled by the warm, tropical
waters, which produce roughly 20 typhoons each year.
Water vapor – gaseous phase of the water
Typhoon tracking and forecasting involve the prediction of the
path of a typhoon every 6 to 12 hours over a period of at least
five days. With this, PAGASA
uses a variety of meteorological tools and methods to deliver
accurate forecasts.
The weather in a specific location will show signs of an
approaching typhoon, like
an increasing wave height and frequency, increasing cloudiness,
falling air
pressure, and heavy rainfall
