User: Why is Philippines often visited by typhoons?

When the monsoon trough is in the northern hemisphere that provides the low pressure system. The Philippines stretch from 5°N to about 20°N so they are at the right latitude and the warmest sea surface temperatures in the world are in that area. This is because the trade winds blow warm surface water across the Pacific to that area. Given the position, the season and the very warm seas, the Philippines are in an ideal area for typhoons to develop - and they do.
