HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
HAZARD
Hydrometeorological hazards are processes or
phenomena 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 even environmental damages.
THESE INCLUDES
• Tropical cyclone
• Thunderstorm
• Hailstorms
• Tornadoes
• Blizzards
• Heavy snowfall
• Avalanches
• Storm surge
• Floods
• Flash floods
• Drought
• Heat waves
• Cold spells
CYCLONE 7
A cyclone is an intense low-
pressure system that is
characterized by strong spiral
winds towards the center, call the
“eye” in a counter-clockwise
flow in the northern hemisphere.
TYPHOON 8
Typhoon is defined as a tropical cyclone
with a maximum wind of 34 knots or
higher. A tropical cyclone with a
maximum wind of less than 34 knots is
called a tropical depression.
The difference between two types of
tropical cyclones is just if the maximum
wind is less than or above the threshold of
34 knots. A typhoon is a large, powerful,
and violent tropical cyclone.
THUNDERSTORM 9
A thunderstorm is a weather that produces
lightning and thunder, heavy rainfall from
cumulonimbus clouds, and possibly a
tornado.
TORNADO 10
A tornado describe as a rotating
column of air extending from a
thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes
develop from severe thunderstorm in
warm, unstable air along and ahead of
cold fronts. It starts from a change in
direction, an increase in wind speed
with increasing height and a rise from
within the thunderstorm which triggers
the rotation of wind from horizontal to
vertical.
FLASH FLOOD AND 11
FLOOD
FLASH FLOOD FLOOD
• A flash floods is a rapid • Floods is the inundation of land
flooding of geomorphic low- areas which are not normally
lying areas like washes, rivers, covered by water. A flood is
dry lakes and basins. It may be usually caused by a temporary
caused by heavy rain associated rise or the over-flowing of a
with a severe thunderstorm, river, stream, or other water
hurricane, tropical storm , or course.
melt water from ice or
snowfields. Flash floods are
distinguished from regular
floods by a timescales of less
than six hours.
12
STORM SURGE 13
Storm surge is a rise of seawater, above
normal sea level on the coast, generated by
the action of weather elements, such as
cyclonic winds and atmospheric pressure.
LA ÑINA 14
Is referred to as the cold phase of ENSO (el
niño- southern oscillation) cycle. La Niña
means Little Girl in Spanish. La Niña is
also sometimes called El Viejo, anti-El
Niño, or simply "a cold event." La Niña has
the opposite effect of El Niño. During La
Niña events, trade winds are even stronger
than usual, pushing more warm water
toward Asia.
EL ÑINO 15
El ñino as the warm phase of ENSO.
El Niño is caused by the warming of
sea surface temperature in the
Pacific and can affect air and sea
currents. This phenomenon resulted
in reduced rainfall that led to dry
spells, droughts and stronger
typhoons.

RADAR IS AN ACRONYM FOR RADIO
DETECTION AND RANGING.
- Since, 1939 radar technology has been
purpose ranging from warfare to weather
predictions to catching speeders on the
highways.
Doppler RADAR
- works by detecting the presence and
location of an object by bouncing a radio
wave off of it detecting the time for the
signal to return.
HOW DOPPLER
RADAR WORKS?
Doppler radar works by sending a beam of electromagnetic
radiation waves from the transmitter (TX Antenna), with a
precise frequency, at a moving object.
Once the electromagnetic radiation wave comes in contact
with an object, it travels back towards the receiver (RX
Antenna). However, when the wave got reflected from the
moving object, the wave now has a different frequency
compared to the original frequency emitted.
