Climates and Climate Controls

1) The different climate controls that impact the Philippines are more intense El Nino, this is when the surface of ocean waters in the Pacific become warmer. The energy caused by this is so strong that it can cause an imbalance in the weather in different parts of the world. Another thing is sea temperatures rising by 1 to 4 degrees celsius this can cause more powerful storms as for they are caused by warmer waters. In the Philippines however the temperatures are slowly rising to 4 and 5 degrees celsius at times. When it gets this warm it kills coral reefs which can eventually lead to a decline in fish. Ocean acidification in pH levels can also lead to coral reefs dying. Lastly another thing is more intense hurricanes. This will be caused because rainfall, river flow and flooding will increase enormously overtime as it already is.

2)Here are the average temperatures and precipitation in some of the major cities.
