Natural disasters like

earthquakes and volcanic


eruptions are part of our
environment. But aside from
these, we also experience
changes in weather every day.
Activity:
What’s the Weather Like?
Weather is the
condition of the
atmosphere at a
specific time and
place. It can
change from
hour to hour or
day to day.
Meteorology is the scientific
study of the atmosphere,
including weather. It helps in
predicting weather patterns.
A meteorologist is a
scientist who studies and
forecasts the weather using
various instruments and
data.
In the Philippines, PAGASA
(Philippine Atmospheric,
Geophysical and Astronomical
Services Administration) is
responsible for weather
forecasting, flood warnings, and
climate studies. It provides real-
time updates on weather
conditions to help people
prepare for natural disasters.
Weather Conditions
Fine Weather/Sunny – Clear
skies with bright sunshine.
Fair Weather – Few clouds
but mostly sunny.
Warm – A slightly hot
temperature.
Cool – A slightly cold
temperature.
Windy/Gusty – Strong air
movement.
Stormy Weather – Strong
winds with rain, thunder, or
lightning.
Rainy Weather –
Continuous rain over an
extended period.
Rain Shower – Sudden
but brief rain.
Thunderstorm – A storm
with lightning and thunder.
Weather Elements
Temperature refers to
how hot or cold the
atmosphere is,
measured using a
thermometer in degrees
Celsius (°C) or
Fahrenheit (°F).
Humidity is the amount
of water vapor present in
the air, measured using
a hygrometer. High
humidity makes the air
feel warmer and can
lead to precipitation.
Wind is the movement
of air caused by
differences in
atmospheric pressure,
measured using an
anemometer. It can be
gentle (breeze) or strong
(gusty winds and
storms).
Precipitation includes
all forms of water, such
as rain, snow, sleet, or
hail, that fall from clouds
to the Earth’s surface. It
is measured using a rain
gauge.
Clouds are visible
masses of tiny
water droplets or
ice crystals
suspended in the
atmosphere. They
are classified
based on their
shape and altitude.
Climate is the long-term pattern
of weather in a particular area. It
describes the usual weather
conditions of a place and remains
relatively stable compared to daily
weather changes.
