Weather and climate are two terms that differ from each other. In some books, they define weather as the present condition of the atmosphere while climate is the average of all weather conditions of an area over a long period of time.



Philippines is located in between the Tropic Cancer and Capricorn. Areas within these tropics experience either tropical rainforest, tropical savanna or tropical monsoon, or humid subtropical (in higher-altitude areas) characterized by relatively high temperature, oppressive humidity and plenty of rainfall. There are four recognized climate types in the Philippines, and they are based on the distribution of rainfall. They are described as follows:
- Type I. Two pronounced season: dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year.
- Type II. No dry season with a pronounced rainfall from November to January.
- Type III. Seasons are not very pronounced, relatively dry from November to April, and wet during the rest of the year.
- Type IV. Rainfall is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year.(Wikipedia)
