FYI : due to the Coriolis effect. wind patterns are predictable and hence typhoons take on the general predictable paths. other factors would be the density of water vapor and the high and low pressure areas near the weather disturbance.

due to the Coriolis you may expect typhoons to be moving northward as they approach the Philippines. this is so due to the rotation of the earth.

to see how fast the earth rotates : determine the equatorial circumference of the earth =Ce (in kilometers) = 40,076 Km

Ce dived by 24 hours = km/hour

40,076Km / 24hr = 1,669.83 Km/hr

that is how fast the earth rotates at the equator hence the Coriiolis effect and Trade winds.

but you don't feel it huh...

wow...very scientific!

:D :D

Cebu is fine that time of the year.

here is the general typhoon tensions (frequency and severity)

1. Luzon : high tension : high frequency of typhoons and severity
2. Visayas (including cebu) : mid tension : occasional path of typhoons.
3. Mindanao : low tension : rarely hit by typhoons

you may dive cebu sites anytime of the year. Cebu is protected by islands to the west and east hence not much build up of wave energy hitting the area.

GO for it. the locals will advise you anyhow of sever weather conditions.

the guy is dead, plus he justs reads them cue cards handed tohim by the Production Assistants. he would not be able to explain in detail the "why ".

Man, that was WAY too much info...:icon10:

Pao,

When I grow up, I want to be just like you - you're my hero, dude!:14:
