Climate
The Philippines is located just above the equator on the upper torrid zone of the globe.
Thus, the country experiences an average temperature ranging from 24˚ Celsius (about 75˚ Fahrenheit) to 31˚ Celsius (about 88˚ Fahrenheit) and humidity varies from 70% to 85% depending on the time of year.
The warm and humid climate all year round accounts for one of the healthiest tropical climates.
There are two distinct seasons: wet and dry.
The time of year for each season depends upon the local climate in each region.
In Baguio, the “summer capital” of the Philippines, temperature averages 18.3˚ Celsius (or 65˚ Fahrenheit).
Nights all over the country are decidedly cold in the months of December and January.
The different parts of the country experience varied weather conditions because of the general air streams that cross the islands: the northeast monsoon that moves from north to east from October to January; the trade winds that come from the tropical high-pressure area of the Pacific from February to April; the southwest monsoon that originates from the tropical high-pressure area below the equator from May to September.
Typhoons may occur anytime of the year, but their peak of occurrence coincides with the rainy season. The number, path, and strength of typhoons differ each year.
They are measured by signals according to strength and length.
An average of 25 typhoons comes each year to different regions of the country.
