The document discusses the three major wind systems that affect weather in the Philippines throughout the year: 1) Northeast Monsoon from October to March which brings cold winds, 2) Trade Winds from February to May which are warmer, and 3) Southwest Monsoon from May to October which causes rain. It then focuses on the prevailing winds in September, which are from the southwest as part of the monsoon. The reasons the Administration Building benefits from these winds while the Architecture Building does not are that the Administration Building is properly located and oriented in an open area while the Architecture Building is blocked by trees and other buildings.

WIND SYSTEMS IN THE PHILIPPINES
The Philippines experiences three major wind systems during
the year. These systems affect the weather. 1. NORTHEAST MONSOON (October – March) – The northeast monsoon occurs during the cold months between October to March. – Cold winds from the north , known as northeasterly winds, swift across the Philippines. – The maximum intensity of these winds is felt around January to part of February. – January and February are generally the coldest months in the Philippines.

2. TRADE WINDS (February – May)
– Winds coming from the east hits the Philippines during the month of February until part of May. – These winds come from high-pressure areas in the Pacific Ocean. The winds are therefore warmer. – These months are noted for warm and dry weather. WIND SYSTEMS IN THE PHILIPPINES
3. SOUTHWEST MONSOON (May – October)
– Around the months of May to October, a flow of moist southwest winds swift across the Philippines. This moist air causes rain. – Generally, the rainy season in the Philippines occurs from May to October. – This southwest monsoon comes from the equator, therefore warm and moist due to water evaporated by the Pacific Ocean. – Maximum rain-showers usually occur during the month of August. PREVAILING WINDS
– Prevailing winds are winds that blow from a single direction
over a specific area of the Earth.
PREVAILING WIND (in the month of September)
SOUTHWEST MONSOON Prevailing Wind – Southwest Monsoon QUESTION: Why does the Administration building get to enjoy the benefits of the prevailing wind? And the Architecture Building doesn’t? REASONS (Administration Building): 1. It is properly located and oriented. It is located at a high part of the site. 2. It has the highest building height to serve its functions. 3. There is no blockage of the prevailing wind such as trees and existing building. 4. Therefore, it is directly hit by the winds. QUESTION: Why does the Administration building get to enjoy the benefits of the prevailing wind? And the Architecture Building doesn’t? REASONS (Architecture Building): 1. The prevailing wind (southwest monsoon) is blocked by the trees on the shore and the rising new Architecture Building. During Northeast Monsoon and Trade Winds 1. It is located at a low part on the contour of the land. 2. Existing buildings (such as the Electrical Building and CHMT) and trees are blocking the wind path.
