typhoons

From June to December typhoons often strike the archipelago. Most of these storms come from the southeast, their frequency generally increasing from south to north; in some years the number of typhoons reaches 25 or more. Typhoons are heaviest in Samar, Leyte, eastern Quezon province, and the Bataan Islands, and when accompanied by floods or high winds they may cause great loss of life and property. Mindoro is generally free from typhoons.
