1. I learned that an area is under storm signal no. 1 when winds of 30-60 kph may be expected in at least 36 hours. Signal no. 2 when winds of greater than 100 kph up to 185 kph may be expected in at least 18 hours. Signal no. 3 winds of greater than 60 kph and up to 100 kph may be expected in at least 24 hours. Very strong winds are coming generally from the north. 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.
2. I want to know more about the formation of a typhoon and the factors that affect the signal no. of an area.
3. I would like to research on the different precautionary measures that I can be used when our area is experiencing typhoon of any signal no.
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 nos.
5. I can apply my learning and insights in understanding the weather condition of our country esp. when we are experiencing typhoon.
