Typhoons
Super Typhoons
Severe Tropical Storm
Tropical Depression
A tropical depression has a
maximum sustained winds of 38
mph or less, and unlike tropical
storms and typhoons, tropical
depressions are identified with
numbers and not names.
Tropical Storm
The maximum sustained surface winds of tropical
storms range from 62 to 88 kph. These storms
represent an intermediate stage between loosely
organized tropical depressions and more intense
tropical cyclones, which are also called hurricanes
or typhoons in different parts of the globe.
Severe Tropical Storm
When it intensifies further
and reaches at least 89 kph
winds (maximum 117 kph), it
becomes a severe tropical
storm (STS).

Storm Surge
A storm surge is a rise in sea level caused by the combination of
low atmospheric pressure and high winds, associated with a storm,
such as hurricane or typhoon, typically a tropical cyclone. It
typically occurs during tropical storms or hurricanes when strong
winds push water towards the shore combined with low
atmospheric pressure and the rotation of the Earth. It frequently
happens along coastal areas and can result in flooding and
significant damage to property and infrastructure.
Storm Surge
Storm surges are primarily caused by the wind and
pressure patterns associated with tropical storms and
hurricanes. As these storms move over the ocean, they
create a mound of water beneath them, which is then
pushed ashore by the strong winds circulating around
the storm and the low pressure at the center of the
storm allows the sea level to rise further.
What is the difference between
storm surge and tsunami?
Floods
Floods are the most frequent
type of natural disaster and
occur when an overflow of
water submerges land that is
usually dry. (WHO)
Types of Floods
Riverine Floods
Occur when rivers overflow their banks
due to heavy rainfall or melting snow.
Flash Floods
Rapid and intense flooding caused by sudden,
heavy rainfall, typically in a short period.
Coastal Floods
Result from storm surges, high tides, or
tsunamis, causing water to inundate
coastal areas.
Urban Floods
Caused by rapid runoff from impermeable
surfaces in urban areas, overwhelming
drainage systems.
Types of Floods
Pluvial Floods
Result from excessive rainfall that leads
to surface water accumulation, often in
urban settings.
Dam or Levee Break Floods
Occur when a dam or levee fails, releasing a
large volume of water downstream.
Types of Floods
Ice Jam Floods
Caused by the accumulation of ice in
rivers, obstructing flow and leading to
flooding when the ice breaks free.
Types of Floods
Do you know when The Great Flood
occurred in the Philippines?

Thunderstorms
also known as an electrical
storm, it is a violent short-
lived weather disturbance
that is associated with
lightning, thunder, dense
clouds, heavy rain or hail,
and strong gusty winds.
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms arise when layers of warm,
moist air rise in a large, swift updraft to
cooler regions of the atmosphere. There
the moisture contained in the updraft
condenses to form towering cumulonimbus
clouds and, eventually, precipitation.
Thunderstorms
Lightning discharges occur when the accumulated electric
charge becomes sufficiently large. Lightning heats the air it
passes through so intensely and quickly that shock waves
are produced; these shock waves are heard as claps and
rolls of thunder. On occasion, severe thunderstorms are
accompanied by swirling vortices of air that become
concentrated and powerful enough to form tornadoes.
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms are known to occur in almost
every region of the world, though they are rare
in polar regions and infrequent at latitudes
higher than 50° N and 50° S. The temperate and
tropical regions of the world, therefore, are the
most prone to thunderstorms.
Tornadoes
Tornado, a small-diameter
column of violently
rotating air developed
within a convective cloud
and in contact with the
ground. (Britannica)
El Niño
The term El Niño (Spanish
for 'the Little Boy') refers
to a warming of the ocean
surface, or above-average
sea surface temperatures,
in the central and eastern
tropical Pacific Ocean.
El Niño
South American fishermen first noticed
periods of unusually warm water in the
1600s. During El Niño, trade winds
weaken. Warm water is pushed back
east, toward the west coast of the
Americas. El Niño is the “warm phase”
of a larger phenomenon called the El
Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
El Niño
On the other side of the ocean, around
South and Central America as the warm
water gets pushed away from the coast,
it’s replaced by cold water which is pulled
up from deeper down in the ocean a
process called upwelling. This creates a
temperature difference across the tropical
Pacific with warmer water piled up in the
West and cooler water in the east.
El Niño
El niño has the potential to
affect you directly via the
weather or indirectly via socio-
economic impacts.
PHILIPPINES VULNERABILITY TO EL NIÑO
What do you notice in the pictures below?
La Niña
La Niña means Little Girl in Spanish. La
Niña is also sometimes called El Viejo, anti-
El Niño, or simply "a cold event." La Niña
has the opposite effect of El Niño. During
La Niña events, trade winds are even
stronger than usual, pushing more warm
water toward Asia. Off the west coast of
the Americas, upwelling increases, bringing
cold, nutrient-rich water to the surface.
La Niña
La Niña is caused by an interaction
between the Pacific Ocean and the
atmosphere above. However, it can
have effects on weather all over the
world. Also, the environmental
conditions during La Niña can lead to
more tropical cyclones—which include
typhoons —forming in the deep tropics.
