Average Monthly Rainfall (Monkayo NHS Monitoring Station)-- CY 2010 and CY 2011

      

           Monkayo National High School is one of  1st batch of  17 Rainfall Monitoring Stations  of  PROJECT RAIN GAUGE  organized by SMART Philippines under SMART SCHOOLS PROGRAM  in partnership   with  DepEd , PAGASA, the Typhoon Commitee Foundation,Inc. AGHAM or the Alyansa ng mga Grupong Haligi ng Agham at Teknolohiya Para sa mga Mamamayan,... way back August 2007. And Mrs. JACQUELINE B. BETE  was assigned as the point person.

          The school organized  its RAINWATCHERS CLUB  yearly which religiously  monitor the amount of rainfall  during rainy days and diligently submit daily with or without rainfall the data/ readings gathered. The purpose is for the PAGASA to established climate patterns all over  the Philippines since climate is obviously changing not only here in the country but all over the world. The farmers will also be benefited for they will be given advise on when to plant or not to plant crops in the year. Another reason is to monitor hazards brought about by too much rainfall and do mitigating measures to  avoid damaged  done by  flash floods, landslides and other heavy rainfall related calamities .

        Below is the data of the average monthly rainfall recorded / submitted by  Monkayo NHS  Rainwatchers Club for the CY 2010 - Cy 2011( up to October only) with graphical representations. If the climate pattern of the Philippines is only based in these two years data, we  think it cannot be established accurately. Data needed must be in  a series of  many years to compare and contrast to come up with a valid conclusion or generalization about Philippine climate today and in the near future..

         In this connection, Monkayo NHS Rainwatchers Club promised to continuously support SMART/PAGASA and will always read, record and report rainfall data to PROJECT RAIN GAUGE.
