Read and answer the
questions found in
your worksheets.
Please answer the
questions carefully.
Let’s try this out!
1. Your parents had just finished

rearranging the family closet.
2. You found two sets of clothes
in different closets.
3. Question: Why did your parents arrange
these clothes for each closet?
4. Question: If you suddenly encounter a hot
sunny day in August while preparing for
school, would you still wear the same clothes
in the closet?
If yes, why? If not, tell what is the proper attire
for that school day.
5. Question: If the news tells you that it will rain on April 11,
would you still wear the same clothes in the closet? If yes,
why? If not, tell what is the proper attire.
Let’s Learn!
The most common explanation why your
parents would have chosen the set of
clothes shown in each closet is that they
have years of experience and they know
that it is almost always sunny and dry
from March to May. Meanwhile, it is
almost always rainy and cold from July to
September.
The Earth is composed of layers
of gases called the atmosphere.
These gases make life possible
by surrounding our planet for
thousands of kilometers.
Examples of gases in the
atmosphere are nitrogen,
oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide,
and others (hydrogen, ozone,
methane, and water vapor).
As mentioned earlier, the atmosphere is made
up of several layers extending to thousands of kilometers.
These are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere,
thermosphere, and exosphere. The temperature, thickness,
and composition (what it is made of) of each
layer are different.
The climate of a region usually varies for
different seasons. For example, dry
seasons mean having warm and humid
weather, while rainy seasons mean having
cold and wet weather. By recording these
observations for a long period of time
(years, decades, or centuries), we will be
able to know the climate.
The Philippine climate is
tropical and maritime, which
means that our country has an
average of high temperature,
high humidity, and abundant
rainfall. This climate is similar
to the climate of the countries
of Central America (e.g., Costa
Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama).
To determine the climate of the Philippines, factors such as
temperature, humidity, and rainfall play the most important
roles.
1. Temperature is a measurement
of the heat in a substance. In this
case, when we measure how hot a
certain region is, we can tell its
temperature. The Philippines has an
average annual (yearly) temperature
of 26.6°C.
2. Humidity refers to the moisture
content (amount of water vapor) of the
atmosphere. Since the Philippines has a
high temperature and is close to large
bodies of water, it has high humidity.
The Philippines has an average
monthly humidity between 71% in
March and 85% in September, which
means that the air can hold water at
71% to 85% of its capacity.
3. Precipitation is the falling of any form of
liquid or solid from the atmosphere to the
surface of the earth. In the Philippines, the most
common form of precipitation is rainfall. The
average amount of rainfall in the Philippines
varies from 965 to 4, 064 millimeters annually.
Using the factors mentioned above as bases, the
climate of the Philippines can be divided into two
major seasons:
1. Rainy Season – June to November
2. Dry Season – classified further as:

a. Cool Dry Season – December to
February
b. Hot Dry Season – March to May
Remember:
Why is the weather important to us?

Weather controls the distribution of rain water on
earth. All living organisms on earth require liquid water to
survive, and humans require fresh (not salty) water for
drinking and agriculture (growing crops for food).
Droughts can have a major impact on humans and have
killed millions of people throughout history.
Why is it important to know the weather and
climate of an area?
Studying the climate helps us predict how
much rain the next winter might bring, or how
far sea levels will rise due to warmer sea
temperatures. We can also see which regions are
most likely to be affected by extreme weather, or
which wildlife species are threatened by climate
change.
How does weather and climate affect our lives?
The impacts of climate change include
warming temperatures, changes in precipitation,
increases in the frequency or intensity of some
extreme weather events, and rising sea levels.
These impacts threaten our health by affecting
the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we
breathe, and the weather we experience.
Question:
 What is weather?

and climate of an area?
