Over the same period the daytime maximum temperature has increased by 0.8°C and heated up by 1.1 °C over night. During the period of 1951 to 1980 very warm months occurred just over 2 per cent over that period of time, nearly 7 per cent of the time during 1981 to 2010.

    Historical Weather Patterns of Michigan

    Relationships between springtime heat accumulation and low temperature events in the western Lower Peninsula were investigated. Sixty years (1931-1990) of daily maximum and minimum temperature data from six stations were used to calculate seasonal growing degree day (GDD) accumulation normal and extremes and their relationship to the date of last freeze at each station throughout the period. Results indicate that in spite of a wide range of individual station and year-to-year variability, both regional springtime GDD accumulation thresholds and last freeze dates are occurring earlier but the timing of GDD thresholds is changing more rapidly, resulting in a net trend toward more freezes after certain GDD thresholds are crossed and a flat or increasing amount of GDDs…

    Journal About Habagat 2012 in Philippines

    In a report prepared by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), this natural phenomenon gets its start during the summer months in the northern hemisphere, when the Asiatic continent becomes warmer than the surrounding seas so a low-pressure area develops over the continent. This happens when a large mass of air rises, causing low pressure in the area the mass left empty and inducing air from over the ocean to flow towards the continent. The winds, rushing toward the low-pressure area, carry heat and water vapor which, when passing across the Philippines, becomes the prevailing winds in the country. "This is what is locally known as the ‘habagat,’ the southwest monsoon," the report said. The report said it is the country’s western portion that receives a substantial amount of rainfall while the southwest monsoon holds sway over the…

    Should the Start of the School Year Be Moved to September?

    “The first three months of the school year, June, July and August, are the peak periods for typhoons in the country.” (Drillon, 2010) Climate change shouldn’t be taken for granted, it always mean that the weather nowadays is unpredictable. The weather can change within a year and that nobody can be sure that September in the following years wouldn’t be rainy also. (Luistro, 2011) For example, Ondoy, one of the strongest typhoon that hit the Philippines occurred in September. No one can be sure that moving the start of the school year to September would rid them of the trouble of having to suspend classes.…

    Climate Change and Its Effect

    Climate change endangers human health, affecting all sectors of society, both domestically and globally. The environmental consequences of climate change, both those already observed and those that are anticipated, such as sea-level rise, changes in precipitation resulting in flooding and drought, heat waves, more intense hurricanes and storms, and degraded air quality, will affect human health both directly and indirectly. Addressing the effects of climate change on human health is especially challenging because…

    Weather and Sea Level Rises

    There are many signs of Climate Change in the environment but did we take noticed of it? No. Sometimes the weather changes very quickly that we don’t know if it will rain or not, but we still didn’t do anything about it. We just continued our everyday lives unaware of what was happening in our planet. I think we Filipinos should start the change because as we all know that the Philippines is located on the Pacific Ring of Fire and its tropical climate makes us prone to earthquake and typhoons.…
