agriculture, and livelihoods. Example: Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) in
2013 devastated parts of the Philippines, particularly Tacloban City in Leyte province,
with winds exceeding 300 km/h and causing widespread destruction and loss of life.
● The Philippines experiences two main monsoon seasons: the southwest monsoon
(Habagat) and the northeast monsoon (Amihan). These monsoons bring distinct weather
patterns, with the southwest monsoon typically bringing heavy rainfall and the
northeast monsoon bringing cooler and drier air. Example: During the Habagat season,
which usually occurs from May to October, areas like Metro Manila and western parts
of Luzon often experience flooding due to the combination of heavy rains and urban
drainage issues.
● Microclimates and localized weather phenomena are prevalent in the Philippines due to
its diverse topography and geographical features. Mountainous regions, coastal areas,
and urban centers can experience different weather conditions simultaneously.
Example: Baguio City, nestled in the Cordillera Mountains, is known as the "Summer
Capital of the Philippines" due to its cooler climate compared to lowland areas.
Meanwhile, coastal cities like Davao experience relatively stable weather with occasional
localized thunderstorms.
● The Philippines is influenced by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon,
which brings about periods of El Niño (warmer sea surface temperatures) and La Niña
(cooler sea surface temperatures). These events can lead to droughts, floods, and
disruptions in agricultural activities. Example: The 2015-2016 El Niño event caused
severe drought conditions in many parts of the Philippines, resulting in crop failures,
water shortages, and adverse impacts on food production.
● Urban areas in the Philippines, particularly major cities like Metro Manila, experience
the urban heat island effect, where temperatures are higher compared to surrounding
rural areas due to human activities, buildings, and lack of green spaces. Example:

5
During hot and humid summer months, Metro Manila often records higher
temperatures than nearby provinces, exacerbating heat-related illnesses and energy
consumption for air conditioning.
Understanding weather in the Philippines involves recognizing the diverse range of weather
phenomena that affect the country, from tropical cyclones and monsoons to localized
microclimates and global climate patterns like El Niño and La Niña. By studying and
preparing for these weather events, communities can better mitigate risks, adapt to
changing conditions, and build resilience against weather-related challenges.

c. Illustrations or drawings representing each type of weather.
d. Labels in both English and Filipino.
e. Once the charts are complete, have each group present their chart to the class,
explaining the different types of weather they included.

2. Weather Word Matching: Write down weather-related vocabulary words (e.g., araw,
ulan, kidlat, hangin) on sticky notes, making sure to include both English and Filipino
terms. Stick the notes randomly on the board. Divide the class into two teams and
explain that they need to match the English words with their corresponding Filipino
translations. Give points to each team for correct matches.

3. Conclude the activity by summarizing what the students have learned about weather.
Ask them to reflect on the importance of understanding different types of weather in
their daily lives. Encourage them to share any questions or observations they have

Philippines, where diverse weather patterns greatly impact various aspects of daily life.
From agriculture to disaster preparedness, understanding weather phenomena is crucial
for sustainable development and ensuring the well-being of communities across the
archipelago.

● In terms of Agricultural Productivity, in the Philippines, agriculture is a vital sector


supporting millions of livelihoods. Weather conditions such as rainfall, temperature,
and humidity play a significant role in determining crop yields and livestock health.
Example: Farmers in the rice-producing regions of Central Luzon heavily rely on the
timing and distribution of rainfall during the wet season to ensure optimal rice
cultivation. Understanding weather forecasts helps farmers make informed decisions
about planting, irrigation, and pest management.
● In terms of Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation, the Philippines is prone to natural
disasters, including typhoons, floods, landslides, and droughts. Studying weather
patterns and forecasts enables authorities and communities to prepare for and mitigate
the impacts of these disasters. Example: In 2018, the Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) issued timely
warnings about Typhoon Mangkhut (locally known as Ompong), allowing local
governments to conduct pre-emptive evacuations and mobilize resources to minimize
casualties and damages.
● In terms of Tourism and Outdoor Activities, weather conditions significantly influence
tourism and outdoor recreational activities in the Philippines. Tourists often plan their
visits based on favorable weather forecasts to enjoy beaches, diving spots, and outdoor

7
attractions. Example: Boracay, one of the Philippines' top tourist destinations,
experiences a peak season during the dry months from November to April when visitors
flock to the island to enjoy sunny weather and pristine beaches. Understanding weather
patterns helps tourism operators manage visitor expectations and safety.
● In terms of Energy Management and Infrastructure Planning, weather conditions impact
energy consumption, particularly in tropical countries like the Philippines where air
conditioning usage increases during hot and humid weather. Studying weather
forecasts aids energy planners in managing electricity demand and grid stability.
Example: During periods of intense heatwaves, such as the summer months, demand
for electricity surges as households and businesses rely on air conditioning for cooling.
Weather forecasts help energy providers anticipate peak demand and deploy resources
accordingly to prevent power outages.
● In terms of Public Health and Safety, weather-related illnesses and hazards pose
significant risks to public health and safety. Studying weather patterns allows
healthcare providers and emergency responders to prepare for and respond to weather-
related emergencies effectively. Example: In densely populated urban centers like Metro
Manila, heat-related illnesses such as heatstroke and dehydration are prevalent during
periods of prolonged heatwaves. Weather forecasts enable health authorities to issue
advisories and implement measures to protect vulnerable populations, such as the
elderly and homeless.

The importance of studying weather in the Philippines cannot be overstated, as it impacts


various sectors of society, including agriculture, disaster preparedness, tourism, energy
management, and public health. By investing in weather monitoring, research, and
forecasting capabilities, the country can enhance resilience, reduce vulnerabilities, and
improve the overall well-being of its people in the face of changing weather patterns and
climate extremes.

3. Lesson Activity

of weather, we can help Filipino children understand how it affects our environment and small prizes or rewards to
daily activities. In the Philippines, there are many aspects of weather that we need to study. acknowledge the efforts of each
group and enhance motivation.
● Air temperature indicates how hot or cold the weather is. In the Philippines,
temperatures are often hot, especially during the summer months, but there are also
times when temperatures may change. Example: In some provinces in the Cordillera
region like Baguio, even during the summer, the temperature is not too hot due to the
high altitude and abundance of pine trees.
● Air pressure shows how much air is present in a particular area. Changes in air pressure
can lead to changes in the weather. Example: When air pressure is high, the weather is
usually good, and the sea is calm, but when it is low, it may bring rain and strong winds.

9
● Wind speed and direction indicate how fast and from where the wind is blowing. Wind
can come from different directions depending on the current weather. Example: During
the rainy season, the wind is usually fast from the west, heading towards the Philippines
due to the influence of the southwest monsoon.
● Humidity shows how moist the air is. In the Philippines, humidity is often high,
especially in coastal areas and urban centers. Example: During the summer, there is
more humidity in areas near the sea, like Metro Manila, because of the heat and
moisture from the ocean.
● Rainfall indicates the descent of water from the sky. In the Philippines, there are two
main rainy seasons: the southwest monsoon (habagat) and the northeast monsoon
(amihan). Example: During the southwest monsoon, rainfall is usually heavy in the
western part of Luzon, which may cause flooding and landslides.
● Cloud cover shows how much of the sky is covered by clouds. There are times when
cloud cover may be low, while at other times, the sky may be full of clouds. Example:
On cloudy days, the weather is cooler because clouds block some of the heat from the
sun.
By studying the basic characteristics of weather, Filipino children will become more
knowledgeable about the importance of understanding weather and how it affects their
daily lives.

3. Lesson Activity
● Weather Instruments Matching (15 minutes): Show pictures or illustrations of
different weather instruments used to measure weather characteristics, such as a
thermometer, barometer, anemometer, wind vane, hygrometer, rain gauge, and cloud
cover chart. Stick the pictures on the board or around the classroom. Provide each
group with sticky notes labeled with the names of the weather instruments. Instruct
the groups to match each weather instrument with its corresponding characteristic.
Give points for correct matches.
● Weather Report Creation (10 minutes): Ask each group to imagine they are weather
reporters and to create a weather report for the day. They should include information
about the current air temperature, air pressure, wind speed, wind direction, humidity,
rainfall, and cloud cover. Encourage them to use Filipino language and localize the
weather report for a specific area in the Philippines.
● Weather Report Presentation (10 minutes): Have each group present their weather
report to the class. Encourage them to use their creativity and explain the significance
of each weather characteristic in the report. Allow time for questions and discussions
after each presentation.
● Reflection and Discussion (5 minutes): Conclude the activity by facilitating a brief
reflection and discussion session. Ask students to share what they've learned about
