Weather is the condition of the atmosphere
at a short period of time. The different
factors that affect weather include air
temperature, air pressure, humidity,
clouds, precipitation, and wind speed
and direction.
Weather disturbances refer to any
disruption of the atmosphere’s stable
condition. It can manifest through the
formation of low pressure are or different
prevailing winds like monsoon and the
Low Pressure Area (LPA) and
High Pressure Area
Typhoon
is an intense weather disturbance having more or less a circular shape and with an average size of about 500 kilometers in diameter. The wind blows toward the center, called the eye. Tropical cyclones are identified based on the speed of the circulating winds. If the speed of the wind is 60 km/h or less it is known as depression. If the speed
becomes 60 to 118 it is known as storm and if the speed is more than 118 it is called a typhoon.

Tropical
cyclone
Tropical cyclones that occur within the Philippine Area of Responsibility
(PAR) develop in two areas. These areas are in the Pacific Ocean and in the
West Philippine Sea. The Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and
Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) keeps track of cyclones
that enter the PAR.
Tropical Disturbance
It is an isolated weather system with an apparent circulation. It is characterized by a poorly
developed wind circulation. This is commonly observed throughout the wet tropics and
subtropics.
Tropical Depression
It is a weak low pressure disturbance with a definite surface circulation. A tropical depression
has a maximum wind speed of up to 61 kilometers per hour (kph). It is most common in the
equatorial region or the Intertropical Convergent Zone (ITZC).
Tropical Storm
Once a tropical depression has intensified, it becomes a tropical storm. A tropical storm is a
moderate tropical cyclone with maximum wind speed of 62 to 88 kph. It is more organized
and more circular in shape. The rotation of tropical storm ismore recognizable than that of a
tropical
