Climate Controls in the

Philippines
• Topography and location
• Trade winds
• Fronts
• Intertropical convergence
zone (ITCZ)
• Monsoon winds
• Tropical cyclones
• Easterly waves
Climate Types
Type 1 The Corona Classification
Type 2
Type 3
TYPE 1. Two pronounced wet and dry
seasons: wet during the months of
Type 4 June to November and dry from
December to May.

TYPE 2. No dry season with a very

pronounced maximum rain period in
December, January and February.

TYPE 3. No pronounced maximum

rain period and short dry season
lasting from one to three months.

TYPE 4. Uniformly distributed rainfall.
