C. Lesson Proper
1. Discussion
“Today, we’ll learn about weather
disturbances. Can anyone tell me what a
weather disturbance is?”
“It’s a disruption in the atmosphere that
leads to severe weather conditions.”
“That’s right, A weather disturbance is a
term used to describe a change in
atmospheric conditions or weather patterns.
Typhoon, Monsoons, thunderstorms and
tornadoes/waterspout fall under the different
types of weather disturbances in the
Philippines.
“In the Philippines, common weather
disturbances include:”
 Typhoons (Bagyo)
“These bring strong winds and heavy
rainfall.”
“The typhoon season in the Philippines
typically peaks from June to November,
with the most active months often occurring
between August and October.”
“Can you give me an example of typhoon
that landfall in the Philippines?”
“Like Typhoon (Name of typhoon),
Ma’am/Sir. It caused a lot of damage”
“That’s right (name of typhoon) is example
of typhoon (Bagyo) that bring strong wind
and heavy rainfall.”
 Thunderstorms
“Thunderstorms are basically rainstorms
with thunder, lightning and wind gusts.
Unlike typhoons, thunderstorms don't last
long and dissipate relatively quickly.”
“Have you ever experienced a
Thunderstorms?
“Yes Teacher, we often have thunderstorms
in the afternoon.”
“Thunderstorms often happens in the
afternoon or evening.”

Monsoons (Habagat and Amihan)
“The Philippines experiences two kinds of
winds and seasons every year, known as
Amihan and Habagat.”
“Amihan is the Northeast monsoon, while
Habagat is the Southwest monsoon.”
“A monsoon is a seasonal rain and wind
pattern. The climate in the Philippines is
generally tropical maritime, with a relatively
cool season from December to February,
when the north-east trade winds prevail, and
a hot, humid and rainy season from May to
November, when the south-west monsoon
prevails.”
“What is the two (2) kinds of monsoons in
the Philippines?”
“Very Good
“Habagat and Amihan, Teacher.”
 Tornadoes and Waterspout
“Tornadoes and Waterspout is a small or big
intense wind systems.”
“Tornadoes form when warm, humid air
collides with cold, dry air. The
combination of winds in a thunderstorm
causes air to rise and spin, creating a vortex
that can turn into a tornado.”
“A waterspout is just a tornado that forms
over open water. A tornado over an ocean,
lake – or even a river – is considered to be a
waterspout. Waterspouts are typically
weaker than most tornadoes. And they’re
usually short-lived. But they can be
destructive.”
“Have you ever experienced or see
tornadoes and waterspout?”
“I’ve seen waterspout over the sea on Tv.”
“I’ve seen tornado on Tv.”
“That is the four (4) common weather
disturbances in the Philippines.”
“What are the different weather
disturbances in the Philippines?”
“That’s right, very good kids!”
2. Effects of Weather Disturbances
“These are the possible effects of weather
disturbances in our daily life.”

to heavy rainfall and flooding, which
disrupts transportation.”

“Heavy rains and strong winds can
uproot trees, and crops can be
destroyed, affecting our food
supply.”
“Typhoons (Bagyo)
“Thunderstorms”

3. Safety Measures and Preparedness
“What should we do to stay safe during
these events (Weather Disturbances)?”
“Watch TV news”
“Don’t go outside when it’s raining”
“Very good kids.”
“These are the example that you can do to
keep you safe and prepared”
 “Always listen to weather updates
from PAGASA or watch to the TV
news.”
 “Prepare an emergency kit with
essentials, like food, water, power
bank, flashlight and etc.”
 Follow evacuation orders from
authorities.”
“Now you know what to do in such a
situation like a typhoon.”
“Yes Teacher.”
D. Activity
1. Group Work
“Let’s divide our class into four (4) groups.
Each group will discuss a specific weather
disturbance and present its characteristics,
effects, and safety measures.”
Group 1: Typhoon (Bagyo)
Presentation 1: “Typhoons have a
windspeeds over 118kph, cause heavy rains,
and can lead to flooding. We should secure
our homes and have emergency kits ready.”
Group 2: Thunderstorms
Presentation 2: “Thunderstorms come with
lightning and thunder. It’s best to stay
indoors and avoid using electrical
appliances.”
Group 3: Monsoons (Habagat and Amihan)
Presentation 3: “Monsoons bring seasonal
rains. Farmers rely on them, but too much
can cause floods. Monitoring weather
reports helps us prepare.”
Group 4: Tornadoes and Waterspout
Presentation 4: “Tornadoes are rotating
columns of air. If spotted, we should take
cover in a sturdy building away from
windows.”
E. Generalization
“What are the different weather
disturbances common in the Philippines?”
“Typhoons (Bagyo)
“Thunderstorms”
“Monsoons (Habagat and Amihan)
“Tornadoes and Waterspout”
“Why is understanding weather disturbances
important?”
“It helps us prepare and stay safe during
severe weather condition.”
“Very good, class.”
F. Application
“At home, discuss with your family how
you can prepare for a typhoon. Create a
simple emergency plan together.”
IV. Evaluation

A. What is weather disturbance?
B. Name two (2) types of weather
disturbances common in the
Philippines?
C. List two (2) effects of typhoon on
communities?
D. What should you include in an

2. Performance Task

“In your groups, create a skit
demonstrating what to do before,
during and after a typhoon. Show the
importance of preparedness and
safety measure.”
V. Assignment
