at night til early morning. As a consequence, frosts, locally called andap, are seen
forming from the dew on the ground during night time and before sunrise.
Atok, Benguet is characterized by high mountains, where the highest point in the
entire countrys highway system is at 2,255 meters or 7,400 feet. With its elevation
characterized by cloudy and freezing temperature, there are areas of this town where
andap or frost occurs. Weather experts claim that the freezing point,
when andap usually occurs in higher areas is when the temperature drops below
10C. (Allad-iw, 2014)
In Japan, it consists of a group of islands lying between latitudes 32 - 45 degrees
north. The country has a generally mountainous terrain, especially the island of
Honshu, where the highest peaks rise to over 12,000ft (3,600m). The Japanese
islands have a climate modified by the sea; thus, as compared to areas in the same
latitude on the mainland, winters are less cold and rain or snowfall is much heavier.
