equator. (If globe is available, show the
pupils where the equator and the
Philippines is located)

14. Because of that, the Philippines receive
vertical rays of sunlight. Much water
evaporates and falls as rain because of
the sun’s heat.
For that reason, we can experience dry
season and rainy or wet season partly in

71. Seasons in the
Philippines

72. What is the difference
between weather and
climate?

73. Look at the pictures.
What does these pictures mean?

74. The Northeast Monsoon and
Southwest Monsoon also contribute
to the seasons in the Philippines.
These prevailing winds blow
consistently in specific direction and
period over particular areas in the
country.

75. The Earth's axis is
tilted 23.5 degrees.
This means that the
Earth does not stand
up straight as it
rotates on its axis and
revolves around the
sun.
Instead, it leans over
a bit.

76. As the Earth revolves around the sun, some areas of the
planet experience various changes. These may include
changes in temperature, length of day and night, and
amount of precipitation (such as rain and snow)
For example, when the North Pole tilts towards the sun, it
is summer season in most parts of the Northern
Hemisphere. During this time, the Northern
Hemisphere receives the most direct sunlight and
experiences little to no precipitation (rain or snow) at all.
Daytime is longer than nighttime.

78. On the other hand, when the North Pole tilts
away from the sun, it is winter season in most
parts of the Northern Hemisphere. During this
time, the Northern Hemisphere receives less
direct sunlight and experiences frequent
precipitation (rain or snow). Nighttime is
longer than daytime. The seasons in the
Northern Hemisphere are the opposite of
those in the Southern Hemisphere.

80. The wet season affects the activities of people.
Farmers plant their crops during this season because
the abundance of rainwater makes their crops
grow quickly.
People prefer to serve and eat warm foods as well as
wear thick and long-sleeved clothes. During the wet
season, people do most of their
activities indoors. When going outdoors, they usually
bring umbrellas and raincoats

83. The change of seasons in the country is studied and
monitored by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical
