00:00The recent typhoons that hit the country
00:05From Pinzalang where Karina fell
00:08Dindo
00:10to Hugupit in Anting
00:12Ferdie followed
00:14Many of our countrymen were affected by the strong typhoons of wind and rain
00:21Ah!
00:23The rain is so heavy!
00:25It's hard to walk on the beach
00:27I'll just ask
00:29Why are there typhoons?
00:32So, while we're a bit addicted to typhoons
00:36That's what we'll put in our bucket list
00:38Typhoon Edition
00:50Why are there typhoons?
00:52And how do we detect them?
00:53Typhoons occur whenever the water in the ocean is hot
00:57Which adds moisture
01:00When the wind shear is weak
01:03The wind shear refers to the direction of the wind
01:06At the bottom or at the surface
01:08And the direction of the wind at the top
01:10And third, when the moisture is sufficient
01:12Where a typhoon occurs
01:15Thanks to modern technology
01:17Experts already know whenever there's a typhoon
01:20First of all
01:22Our numerical weather prediction models
01:25Provide the first information
01:28Or geographical location of the typhoon
01:32Second, the satellite image
01:34That we use
01:36To see the events of the typhoon
01:39Bucket List No. 3
01:41Now, why does a typhoon have eyes and tail?
01:46The eyes of a typhoon
01:48Are the middle part of the cloud
01:51While the tail is the outer part
01:54Or the edge of the typhoon structure
01:56The most prominent part of a typhoon is not the tail
01:59Not the eyes
02:01But what we call the eyewall
02:03When it hits the eyewall
02:05That's where the strongest wind is
02:07But did you know that the eyes of a typhoon
02:11Are the calm part
02:12Because that's where the strongest wind is
