Keeping an eye on the daily weather forecast has never been more important in the Philippines than it is today, what with environmental issues wreaking havoc on the previously simple and more predictable dual season of dry and wet. It has thus become a habit for a greater number of Filipinos to tune in to the radio, click on the television, or have a quick Internet search on what to expect for the day, as opposed to the former practice of checking weather reports only when storms are brewing.
In effect, the job of a meteorologist has become all the more pronounced today, especially among a generation that is hardly ever satisfied to know what to expect, but also demands to understand why a certain situation is about to happen.
