Answer:

1. Located along the typhoon belt in the Pacific, the Philippines is visited by an average of 20 typhoons every year, five of which are destructive.

2. Typhoons usually move east to west across the country, heading north or west as they go. Storms most frequently make landfall on the islands of Eastern Visayas, Bicol region, and northern Luzon, whereas the southern island and region of Mindanao is largely free of typhoons.

3. The developing storm then tracked west and west-north west towards the Philippines, growing in intensity to become a category 5 'super typhoon'. By the time Typhoon Haiyan reached east coast of the Philippines it produced sustained winds of 315 km/h or 195 mi/h winds at landfall, the highest ever recorded. (super typhoon)

4. Typhoons in the Philippines can occur any time of the year, with the months of June to September being most active, with August being the most active individual month and May the least active.
