What IS tropical CYCLONE?
Tropical Cyclones are large, rotating
storm systems that develop over warm
tropical waters.

TYPHOON
A typhoon is a powerful tropical cyclone
that forms over tropical ocean waters in
the Pacific.

PARTS OF A TYPHOON
PARTS OF A TYPHOON
EYE
The eye of the typhoon is an area with the lowest air
pressure and its wind speed is also low.
The eye or center is helpful for weather forecasters and
meteorologists because it serves as the reference point
in plotting the typhoon’s location.
PARTS OF A TYPHOON
EYE WALL
Surrounds the eye and has the strongest winds
and heaviest rain.
Changes in the structure of the eye and
eyewall can cause changes in the wind speed,
which is an indicator of the storm's intensity.
PARTS OF A TYPHOON
RAIN BANDS
Rain Bands are found outside the eye wall. It is
a long bands of clouds and thunderstorms.
These bands are capable of producing heavy
bursts of rain and wind, as well as tornadoes.
Also referred to as “buntot ng bagyo”
Philippine Area of Responsibility
This is the smallest and
innermost monitoring
domain, whose
boundary is closest to
the Philippine Islands.
When a weather
disturbance enters the
PAR, weather bureau
begins to monitor it.
HOW TYPHOONS DEVELOP
STAGE 1: TROPICAL
STORMS FORMATION
An area of low pressure is
created when the warm sea air
rises. Surrounding air moves into
the area causing strong winds.
STAGE 2: TROPICAL
STORMS FORMATION
Warm air continues to rise,
creating moisture. The moisture
cools and condenses, forming
storm clouds.
STAGE 3: TROPICAL
STORMS FORMATION
Once the cool air has descended,
it forms a calm area. The central
area is called the eye.
EYE OF THE STORM
STAGE 3: TROPICAL
STORMS FORMATION
As a result of winds near the
equator, the storm will move from
east to west. The earths spin
causes the winds to curve and
eventually the storm starts to spin.
PRIMARY EFFECTS
Strong winds, heavy rain and storm
surges lead to the following
effects:
Buildings destroyed or flooded
Infrastructure such as roads
and railways are damaged
Civilians and animals die
SECONDARY EFFECTS
Secondary effects are the result of
the primary effects:
Shortage of food and clean water
Job losses
Costs to the economy
Landslides
