Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Science Grade Five Self Learning Module 11 on The Different Weather
System in the Philippines and the Changes in Weather Before, During and After the
Typhoon

This Self Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and reviewed by
educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge
Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership
with the Local Government of Pasig through its mayor, Honorable Victor Ma. Regis
N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K to 12 Curriculum using the
Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) while overcoming their personal,
social, and economic constraints in schooling.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners into guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the body of
the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this module.
You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to manage
their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the learners
as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to the Science Grade Five Self Learning Module 11 on The Different Weather
System in the Philippines and The Changes in Weather Before, During and After the
Typhoon.
The hand is one of the most symbolized part of the human body. It is often used to
depict skill, action and purpose. Through our hands we may learn, create and
accomplish. Hence, the hand in this learning resource signifies that you as a learner
is capable and empowered to successfully achieve the relevant competencies and
skills at your own pace and time. Your academic success lies in your own hands!

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to
process the contents of the learning material while being an active learner.

This module has the following parts and corresponding icons:

Expectation - These are what you will be able to know after completing the
lessons in the module

Pretest - This will measure your prior knowledge and the concepts to be
mastered throughout the lesson.

Recap - This section will measure what learnings and skills that you
understand from the previous lesson.

Lesson - This section will discuss the topic for this module.

Activities - This is a set of activities you will perform.

Wrap Up - This section summarizes the concepts and applications of the

lessons.

Valuing - This part will check the integration of values in the learning
competency.

Posttest - This will measure how much you have learned from the entire
module.

LESSON

Let us read this:

“Whether the weather be fine, Whether the weather be not, Whether the
weather be cold, Whether the weather be hot, We will weather the weather Whether
we like it or not.”

What does the rhyme imply? What is the weather today?

How about the climate in your place?

Are they different? Let’s find out

Weather is the day to day or time to time condition of the atmosphere in

certain area. Weather affects our daily activities. The weather is fine when the sky is
bright, sunny, with few clouds, and no rain; it is fair when there are clouds and rain
may occur in isolated patches, but the greater portion of the day is sunny rainy
weather refers to a condition of heavy rains and strong winds.

Weather systems are simply the movement of warm and cold air across the
globe. These movements are known as low-pressure systems and high-
pressure systems. High-pressure systems keep moisture from rising into the
atmosphere and forming clouds. Therefore, they are usually associated with clear
skies.
The Philippines have a tropical maritime climate, meaning the weather is
generally hot and quite humid. The Philippines weather patterns are created by the
prevailing winds of the southwest monsoon (known as the habagat) from May to
October and the northeast monsoon (known as the amihan) from November to early
May.

It is the PAGASA or the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and

Astronomical Services Administration that is responsible for studying the different
weather of our country.

With the technologies, such as weather satellites radar PAGASA can

accurately predict weather systems. They forecast weather systems daily through
daily weather bulletins and rainfall forecasts.

What are the weather systems in the Philippines? Weather systems in the
Philippines include:

1. Cyclone
2. Breeze
3. Monsoons and
4. ITCZ

CYCLONE is a large and violent whirlwinds observed in different parts of the

Earth. Tropical areas such as the Philippines used the term tropical cyclones. These
cyclones bring violent wind and thunderstorms to the affected areas. Cyclones are
categorized based on wind speed. These are Tropical depression (61 kph), Tropical
storm (62-88 kph), Severe tropical storm (87-117 kph) and Typhoon (118 kph).
Because of the effects of typhoon Yolanda, a new category super typhoon (200 kph)
was coined. Cyclones are born over bodies of water and dies over landmasses

BREEZE are the winds which blow onto the shore from the sea during daytime and
away from the shore during nighttime. Breeze can be classified into 2, sea breeze
that is during day time and land breeze during night time.

Sea breeze happens at daytime, warm air rises and cooler air above the sea
moves towards land. On the other hand, land breeze are the winds which blow onto
the shore from the sea during daytime and away from the shore during night time.

MONSOON is a breeze in a larger scale. Monsoon winds are stronger than ordinary
breeze as they are formed by high temperatures in coastal areas.
 Hanging Amihan is the Filipino term for northeast monsoon. It brings cold air
in Oct to Feb. Hanging Habagat is the Filipino term for southwest monsoon. It causes
rains and storms in May to Sep.
ITCZ Intertropical Convergence Zone. It is the group of clouds which bring
weak to moderate rains and few thunderstorms. It forms due to the clashing winds
coming from the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.
ITCZ moves north in the Northern Hemisphere during summer and south during the
cold season. ITCZ is responsible for the wet and dry seasons in countries near the
equator.
Approximately twenty tropical cyclones enter the Philippine area of
responsibility yearly. Typhoons can hit the Philippines any time of year, with the
months of June to September being most active.
What are the changes in weather before, during and after a typhoon?

BEFORE A TYPHOON

• There are formations of dark clouds.

• Air is colder and dry.

• Reddish clouds at sunrise and sunset.

• Humidity is high.

DURING A TYPHOON

• Strong winds and heavy rains.

• Sky is cloudy.
• Big waves in the sea.

• Surging of winds in counterclockwise direction.

AFTER A TYPHOON

• Speed of wind decreases.

• Sun is starting to shine.
• Sky is clear.

• Little rain but not as much as during typhoon.

• Environment are flooded.
