Narisma cited that recent monsoonal activity in Metro Manila led to cancellation of classes but the region also suffered from water shortage due to drought.

Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Weather can change from hour-to-hour, day-to-day, month-to-month or even year-to-year. A region’s weather patterns, usually tracked for at least 30 years, are considered its climate. Climate System Different parts of the world have different climates. Some parts of the world are hot and rainy nearly every day. They have a tropical wet climate. Others are cold and snow-covered most of the year. They have a polar climate. Between the icy poles and the steamy tropics are many other climates that contribute to Earth’s biodiversity and geologic heritage. Climate is determined by a region’s climate system. A climate system has five major components: the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the land surface, and the biosphere. The atmosphere is the most variable part of the climate system. The composition and movement of gases surrounding the Earth can change radically, influenced by natural and human-made factors. Changes to the hydrosphere, which include variations in temperature and salinity, occur at much slower rates than changes to the atmosphere. The cryosphere is another generally consistent part of the climate system. Ice sheets and glaciers reflect sunlight, and the thermal conductivity of ice and permafrost profoundly influencestemperature. The cryosphere also helps regulate thermohaline circulation. This “ocean conveyor belt” has an enormousinfluence on marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Topogr...

Watch Video: Flash floods hit Flagstaff in August 2022 FLAGSTAFF — After Flagstaff and its surrounding county area experienced Dozens of residents from across the city attended two community meetings this month where officials provided updates on a suite of various flood control projects that were underway since last year for both the Schultz Creek/Pipeline West flood area and the Spruce Wash/Museum flood area. In addition to the Schultz Creek sediment basins completed last fall, the city aims to complete the construction of one of three Park Way sediment basins above Linda Vista Drive by the end of June. In coordination with the U.S. Forest Service, the county Flood Control District is also slated to start more on-forest work this spring, including construction of a large alluvial fan to help disperse debris beginning next week. According to U.S. Geological Survey, an alluvial fan occurs when a fast-moving mountain stream empties out onto a relatively flat plain. Wildfire fallout: "Those are the game changers," in terms of mitigating impacts downstream, said Lucinda Andreani, Flood Control District administrator. "If we can't do this kind of work on-forest, those measures won't be able to perform because they will just fill up with sediment and debris," she said. City and county officials assured the community that crews were working as much as possible in the off-season to limit the potential impact of flooding this year, but they were slowed down by the record snowfall ...
