1. I learned that an area is under storm signal no. 4 when very strong winds of more than 185 kph may be expected in at least 12 hours. With storm signal no. 4, the locality is very likely to be hit directly by the eye of the typhoon. As the eye of the typhoon approaches, the weather will continuously worsen with the winds increasing to its strongest coming generally from the north. Then a sudden improvement of the weather with light winds (a lull) will be experienced. This means that the eye of the typhoon is over the locality. This improved weather may last for one to two hours depending on the diameter of the eye and the speed of movement. As the eye moves out of the locality, the worst weather experienced before the lull will suddenly commence. This time the very strong winds will come generally from the south.
2. I want to know more how a storm signal no. 3 turns into signal no. 4 and its effect on the country.
3. I would like to research on the different precautionary measures that I can be used when our area is under such worst condition.
4. I appreciate the fact that there is a weather agency in the Philippines (PAGASA) that informs the countrymen when there is a storm forming near the country and announces the areas that are under the storm signal no. 4.
5. I can apply my learning and insights in understanding the weather condition of our country esp. when we are experiencing storm signal no. 4.
