A tropical cyclone having sustained surface winds of less than 39 miles per hour (34 knots, 36 kilometers per hour)

A storm characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on the Earth’s atmosphere, known as thunder.

It is a region where the air presence is lower than that of surrounding locations.

Winds moving 30-60 kph may be expected in at least 36 hours or intermittent rains may be expected within 36 hours.

It is a giant, rotating storm that brings wind, rain and destruction.

Winds faster than 60 kph up to 100 kph may be expected in at least 24 hours.

Winds faster than 185 kph maybe expected in at least 12 hours.

It is a defined as Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical Astronomical Services Administration.

It is a region where the atmospheric pressure at the surface of the planet is greater than its surrounding environment.

Winds faster than 100 kph to 185 kph may be expected in at least 18 hours.

Storm is another called for hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones.

PAG-ASA is Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Sciences Administration.

Monsoon is a seasonal prevailing wind that brings heavy rains in a specific area.

PSWS are the basis of strength and speed of the wind that accompanied by typhoon.

PSWS No. 1 – winds moving 30-60 kph may be expected at least 36 hours.

Thunderstorm is a localized storm or clouds that produce thunder and lightning.

Preparing an emergency kit ready is the best thing to do before typhoon occurs.

Precautionary measures must be observed to save lives and property.

It is advisable to stay indoors during typhoon occurs.

Ask an electrician to check electrical wiring or appliances that were soaked in flood water after typhoon occurs.
