"MANILA, Philippines - More than 9,000 people or about 2,000 families have been affected by floods caused by the diffused tail-end of a cold front, disaster management officials said yesterday." this is a excerpt in the news of Alexis Romero Cold front affects 9,000 Vis-Min folk of the Philippne Star, last January 16, 2012.             Alarming. Massive effect in to our folks. In the report, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said the cold front affected 9,482 people or 2,053 families in Mimaropa (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon and Palawan), Western Visayas, Eastern Visayas, Northern Mindanao, and the Davao and Caraga regions.              Heavy rains, floods and landslide. I always hear that tail-end of a clod front but now it is now clear to me its origin and destructions. Whow! we shouuld always be ready about what will happen. Cause' no body knows what will happen in this very moment.      Mark 13:33: "Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is."

ITCZ

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as The Doldrums, is the area encircling the earth near the equator where winds originating in the northern and southern hemispheres come together.


          The ITCZ was originally identified from the 1920s to the 1940s as the "Intertropical Front" (ITF), but after the recognition in the 1940s and 1950s of the significance of wind field convergence in tropical weather production, the term "ITCZ" was then applied. When it lies near the equator, it is called the near-equatorial trough. Where the ITCZ is drawn into and merges with a monsoonal circulation, it is sometimes referred to as a monsoon trough, a usage more common in Australia and parts of Asia. In the seamen's speech the zone is referred as the doldrums because of its erratic weather patterns with stagnant calms and violent thunderstorms.


          The ITCZ widespread is a result of the northern and southern hemisphere. We'll experienced widespread

         It really affects our life. Changes in weather. In our climate change today, it is not too far that we'll experience abnormality cauce by ITCZ. It'll be cold and hot. And because of this diseases are widespread. Huge amount of rainfall, strong winds and full blast of thunder. Fearful. Showing that once we don't care on our nature. It'll take its revenge by little by little by means like in weather that will make humans sufffer leading to death.
