The "hanging habagat" is also known as the southwest monsoon. This natural phenomenon gets its start during the summer months in the northern hemisphere, when the Asiatic continent becomes warmer than the surrounding seas.

As a result, a low-pressure area develops over the continent. This happens when a large mass of air rises, causing low pressure in the area the mass left empty and inducing air from over the ocean to flow towards the continent.

The winds, rushing toward the low-pressure area, carry heat and water vapor which, when passing across the Philippines, becomes the prevailing winds in the country.

The "hanging amihan" also known as the northeast monsoon draws "cold, dry air" from icy Siberia, China and Japan.
