METEOROLOGICAL
HAZARDS
OBJECTIVES
1. Define hydro-meteorological hazards;
2. Identify different hydro-meteorological hazards;
3. Recognize the signs of impending hydro-meteorological
hazards.
4. Create a brochure that shows precautionary and Safety
Measures for Hydrometeorological Hazards.
HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
HAZARDS

HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL HAZARD is a process or


phenomenon of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic
nature that may cause...
Loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property
damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and
economic disruption, or environmental damage.
CYCLONE ,TYPHOON OR HURRICANE
Tropical cyclone, also called typhoon or hurricane, an
intense circular storm that originates over warm tropical oceans
and is characterized by low atmospheric pressure, high winds,
and heavy rain.

A Typhoon is a low-pressure area or a tropical cyclone that is


large and violent. It rotates counterclockwise with warm air raising
above the warm water of the Western Pacific Ocean. On the
other side of the world, some call it hurricane or wily-wily.
CYCLONE ,TYPHOON OR HURRICANE

Hurricanes :occur in the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern


north Pacific Ocean.

Typhoons: occur in the western Pacific Ocean.

Tropical cyclones:occur in the south Pacific Ocean and


Indian Ocean.
IMPENDING SIGNS OF HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL
HAZARDS

❖ TYPHOON
1. Strong winds
2. Dark clouds
3. Blowing debris
4. Barometers start to drop
5. Cirrus clouds start to appear ahead of
tropical cyclone.
THUNDERSTORM
This is a powerful, short-lived weather disturbance, almost
always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds,
heavy rain or hail, and fast, roaring winds. Thunderstorms
occur when layers of dry, moist air rise to cooler regions of
the atmosphere in a broad, rapid updraft.
THUNDERSTORM

Most thunderstorms form in three stages: the


cumulus stage when storm clouds form, the
mature stage when the storm is fully formed,
and then the dissipating stage when the storm
weakens and breaks apart.
IMPENDING SIGNS OF HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL
HAZARDS

❖ THUNDERSTORM

1. Cumulus clouds formed


2. Lightning and thunder
3. Wind blowing
4. Temperature drop
