Drought seen lasting until end of the year
(7.27.07)WEATHER bureau officials yesterday said the low level of rainfall in the last two months is “alarming” as it warned that the dry spell could last until the end of the year.

He blamed the low level of rainfall on the high pressure area over Luzon that prevents cloud formation and rainfall. A high pressure area, a type of weather system where there is downward motion of air, prevents water vapor to be carried upward for condensation to occur and clouds to develop. 더 읽기
