Philippine Typhoon Names of 2009

Sunday, August 2, 2009

You might even wonder why the name “Jolina” came in the scene of the name of typhoon. Jolina fans, rise and be counted!

On average, the Philippines is a receipient of about more or less 20 typhoons/tropical disturbances per year. Some go on landfall, others just passing by the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR).

I still remember when the typhoon’s or tropical disturbance’s name in the Philippines is named from women which usually ends their name in “ng.” Because the old popular belief that women’s attitude of unpredictability and mood swings are the best description a weather disturbance, especially a typhoon has.

Only later in the 20th Century did the names changed from a chauvinist to a more gender-sensitive list of names which depicts more of popular Philippine culture.

For today’s list of typhoon or tropical disturbance names, here’s the list of 2009 names as per PAGASA:

Auring

I'm Berniemack Arellano, just a simple and boring guy who wants to go amok whenever he's being prevented going somewhere else.

Inspired by the Lonely Planet/Pilot Guides series, I desperately went on to see places and culture as a cure to absolute monotony of life in the early 21st Century despite of financial incapabilities.
