The Philippines has two main seasons - the dry season and wet season. The dry season is generally sunny and bright, though rain can fall in the afternoons. During the wet season, it rains more frequently. Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate describes long-term weather patterns. Weather is influenced by sunshine, water, and air. Sunshine provides light and heat, water comes from oceans and bodies of water, and air surrounds us like water surrounds fish.
