As ocean temperatures rise due to climate change, more heat is trapped in the atmosphere, leading to stronger and more frequent storms in the Philippines over the last decade. Average temperatures in the Philippines range from 21-32°C, with May being the warmest month. The country experiences typhoons between June and November which can cause significant damage. Natural disasters in the Philippines from 2000-2012 caused over 12,000 deaths and affected over 71 million people.
