Air mass of the Philippines does not follow usual air mass types. Theoretically there should be 6 types of air masses (2 types based on moisture properties, maritime and continental times 3 types based on thermal properties of source region, polar, arctic/antarctic, and tropical ) however mA-type or maritime Arctic does not exist. Further classification based on temperature were added, superior, equatorial and monsoons. For the Philippines, we are experiencing 2 kinds of monsoons, southwest monsoon or habagat and northeast monsoon or amihan.
