CLIMATOLOGY OF SIGNIFICANT WEATHER AT MACTAN AB, PHILIPPINES.
Abstract
The climatology of significant weather at Mactan is presented in graphical and table form. Significant weather is defined as: the occurrence of thunderstorms, ceiling/visibility conditions below VFR, surface wind gusts greater than or equal to 20 knots, and or rainfall. Observations for a limited period at Mactan are compared with a 10 to 15 year summary of observations at Cebu. There appears to be no significant climatic differences between the two locations. A screening of predictors to forecast thunderstorms at Mactan indicates that low level wind speed gives the best indication of thunderstorm probability (thunderstorms much more likely with light winds).
