The graph shows the monthly
number of sunny, partly cloudy,
overcast and precipitation days.
Days with less than 20% cloud cover
are considered as sunny, with 20-
80% cloud cover as partly cloudy
and with more than 80% as
overcast. While Reykjavík on Iceland
has mostly cloudy days
The maximum temperature diagram
for Mindanao displays how many
days per month reach certain
temperatures. Dubai, one of the
hottest cities on earth, has almost
none days below 40°C in July. You can
also see the cold winters in Moscow
with a few days that do not even
reach -10°C as daily maximum
 The precipitation diagram for
Mindanao shows on how many days
per month, certain precipitation
amounts are reached. In tropical and
monsoon climates, the amounts may
be underestimated.
The diagram for Mindanao
shows how many days within
one month can be expected to
reach certain wind speeds.
Monsoons create steady strong
winds on the Tibetan
Plateau from December to April,
but calm winds from June to
October.
The wind rose for Mindanao shows how
many hours per year the wind blows
from the indicated direction. Example
SW: Wind is blowing from South-West
(SW) to North-East (NE). Cape Horn, the
southernmost land point of South
America, has a characteristic strong
west-wind, which makes crossings from
East to West very difficult especially for
sailing boats.
The "mean daily maximum" (solid red line) shows the
maximum temperature of an average day for every month
for Mindanao. Likewise, "mean daily minimum" (solid blue
line) shows the average minimum temperature. Hot days and
cold nights (dashed red and blue lines) show the average of
the hottest day and coldest night of each month of the last
30 years. For vacation planning, you can expect the mean
temperatures, and be prepared for hotter and colder days.
Wind speeds are not displayed per default, but can be
enabled at the bottom of the graph.
 
The precipitation chart is useful to plan for seasonal effects
such as monsoon climate in India or wet season in Africa.
Monthly precipitations above 150mm are mostly wet, below
30mm mostly dry. Note: Simulated precipitation amounts in
tropical regions and complex terrain tend to be lower than
local measurement

Climate
The daily average high (red line) and low (blue line) temperature, with 25th
to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands. The thin dotted lines are the
corresponding average perceived temperatures.
The average hourly temperature, color coded into
bands: frigid < 15°F < freezing < 32°F < chilly < 45°F < cold < 55°F < cool < 65°F < comfortable <
 75°F < warm < 85°F < hot < 95°F < sweltering. The shaded overlays indicate night and civil
twilight.
The figure shows you a compact characterization of the entire year of hourly average
temperatures. The horizontal axis is the day of the year, the vertical axis is the hour of the
day, and the color is the average temperature for that hour and day.
The average of mean hourly wind speeds (dark gray
line), with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile
bands.
The predominant average hourly wind direction in
Zamboanga varies throughout the year.
The wind is most often from the west for 1.7 weeks,
from April 9 to April 21 and for 1.4 months,
from September 22 to November 3, with a peak
percentage of 49% on October 8. The wind is most
often from the south for 5.0 months, from April
21 to September 22, with a peak percentage
of 71% on August 15. The wind is most often from
the north for 4.2 months, from November 3 to March
10, with a peak percentage of 53% on January 1.
100%0%southeastnorthwest
The percentage of hours in which
the mean wind direction is from
each of the four cardinal wind
directions (north, east, south, and
west), excluding hours in which
the mean wind speed is less
than 1 mph. The lightly tinted
areas at the boundaries are the
percentage of hours spent in the
implied intermediate directions
(northeast, southeast, southwest,
and northwest).
The average daily shortwave solar energy reaching
the ground per square meter (orange line), with 25th
to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands.
The percentage of days in which various types of precipitation are observed, excluding
trace quantities: rain alone, snow alone, and mixed (both rain and snow fell in the same
day).
 
A wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. The
chance of wet days in Zamboanga varies significantly throughout the year.
The wetter season lasts 5.8 months, from May 24 to November 18, with a greater
than 33% chance of a given day being a wet day. The chance of a wet day peaks
at 50% on June 23.
The drier season lasts 6.2 months, from November 18 to May 24. The smallest chance of
a wet day is 15% on March 9.
Among wet days, we distinguish between those that experience rain alone, snow alone,
or a mixture of the two. Based on this categorization, the most common form of
precipitation throughout the year is rain alone, with a peak probability of 50% on June
23.
The average rainfall (solid line) accumulated over the course of a sliding
31-day period centered on the day in question, with 25th to 75th and 10th
to 90th percentile bands. The thin dotted line is the corresponding
average liquid-equivalent snowfall.

Natural
Hazards
A storm that is considered to be an Advisory Level 1 is
could only affect the front coast nearby the site and does
not affect the site at all.
A storm that is considered to be an Advisory Level 2 now
affects the site however the tide level is considered to be
Low.
A storm that is considered to be an Advisory Level 3
generates a sea level above 4 meters resulting the site to
have a 0.5 meter flood level within the site.
A storm that is considered to be an Advisory Level 4
generates a 1.5m flood level within the site resulting onto
a disuse at the Southern West part of the site with low
ground line.
LANDSLIDE AREA
NEARBY ROAD
The site is considered to be
topographically safe, although the main
road located at the Southern West part
of the map is considered to be a
Landslide and Unstable Slope Area;
thus if an landslide may occur on that
road, access from the city to the capitol
is then cut. And only through water
transportation could access it.

Ecology
Terrestrial Flora
Zamboanga is filled with over 172
different species of plants, which
are then grouped into 56 families.
The most common of such
families are the Dipterocarpaceae,
Meliaceae, Moraceae,
Euphorbiaceae, Lauraceae,
Sapotaceae, Guttiferae,
Sapindaceae and Mythaceae.
Terrestrial Fauna
Birds in Zamboanga come to a
total of 338 different species. It is
also home to a subspecies of the
Peregrine Falcon, which is
classified as a prohibited specie.
The peninsula is also home to 30
species of mammals and 4
species of reptiles
Coastal and Marine Environment

Coral Reefs
Zamboanga City is considered to have one
of the most diverse and dense marine
resources on the east coast, as noted by
the DENR. The coral reefs of Zamboanga
prove to be important for the Philippines’
fisheries. The peninsula rich marine
ecosystem is said to contribute 10%-15%
of the country’s annual fish production. In
order to maintain the region’s marine
biodiversity, an artificial reef is currently in
development.
Mangroves
Region IX is home to the largest area
of mangroves in the Philippines. In
2003, the Peninsula makes up 45% of
the total mangrove areas of the whole
country. However, this number is at a
steady decline, as every year
thousands of hectares are lost to the
development of urban and agricultural
landscapes.
