What is weather?
What is the difference
between weather and
climate?
Things That make up our weather
• sunshine • blizzards
• rain • ice storms
• cloud cover • thunderstorms
• winds • steady rains fro
• hail m a cold front o
• snow r warm front
• sleet • excessive heat
• freezing rain • heat waves and
more.
• flooding
Different types of weather
• Clouds • Sleet
• Dust storm • Snow

 Rain and weather monitoring system
used by PAGASA

DOST-ASTI developed and deploye

d a network of Automated Weather
Stations (AWS) and Automated Rai
n Gauges (ARG) to monitor real-tim
e weather changes occurring in spe
cific localities all over the country.

These rain and weather monitoring

system complement PAGASA's we
ather monitoring facilities for purpo
ses of information gathering and es
tablishment of baseline data, foreca
sting and research.
 Why study
weather and
climate?
What is Hydrology?
What Hydrologist do?
The subject of hydrology
mainly involves:
1. Assessment of catchment rainfall;
2. Assessment of dependable flow;
3. Design flood computations for safet
y of hydraulic structures;
4. Assessment of losses; and
5. Calculation of useful life and capaci
ty of reservoirs.
Application in Engineering:
Success of any water resources
development project depends on
timely and sufficient availability of
water. Naturally proper assessme
nt of this natural resource assum
es great importance. By assessm
ent we try to know in detail from
where the resource comes, wher
e it goes, at what time or when it
comes and how much of it is reall
y available.
The practical applications of the knowled
ge of hydrology are the following:
• Peak flow and future conditions of flow, at
any point in the drainage valley can be cor
rectly estimated for any basin or area.
• Spillway capacity can be accurately desig
ned by estimating design flood.
• Design of river training work is facilitated.
• Dependable yields from the stream for ge
neration of hydroelectric power can be cal
culated.
• Water supply to township and sewerage s
chemes can be properly designed.
• Water resources account of a river basin c
an be prepared.

 About A hurricane is a cyclone t
hat is located in the North
Atlantic Ocean, or the NE
Pacific Ocean east of the I
nternational Date Line, or
the South Pacific Ocean e
ast of 160E, and with sust
ained winds that reach or
exceed 74 mph.
Tropical cyclones in the N
orthwest Pacific Ocean w
est of the International Da
te Line with sustained win
ds of (or those that excee
d) 74 mph are typhoons.

Location North Atlantic Ocean, the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Northeast Pacific Ocean e west of the International
ast of the International D Date Line
ate Line, or the South Pac
ific Ocean east of 160E. H
urricanes are found near
the tropical zone, over wa
rm waters in the Atlantic
and Pacific ocean.

Most affected areas Caribbean Sea South East Asia, China Sea
etc.

Frequency 10-15 per year 25-30 per year
