nice weather

[peterfe]

I don't know what the weather's been like recently in your corner of the Philippines, but here in Cebu Province we've had what I call really nice weather for the past 2-3 weeks. This is not the same as "nice weather" in Northern Europe - my ideal weather here is cloudy, dry and a nice wind (about force 5). Well, it hasn't been so windy every day, but just the fact that it's mostly cloudy means you can go for a walk in the countryside at any time of day. Which I miss when it's blazing sunshine and 34 degrees - I'm sure I could go for a long walk at midday without collapsing, after years in Saudi Arabia, but I don't particularly want to!

Life is always good in the Philippines, but especially in weather like this!

Normally in my condo in Makati its about 30 or 31. Past few days its been down to 28 and 29... which is excellent.

No fan or air con needed and i even need to wear a tshirt !

 

so funny when reading the likes of Daily Mail and they say UK has a record breaking heatwave and when you convert F to C , you find out its a normal days weather in Philippines

If I lived here by myself, I'd never put on a fan or AC (ground level). But as we all know, Filipinas love fans and AC, so it's fair enough to compromise. The AC is over S's side of the bed, usually at 24 degrees. If she lived here by herself, she'd probably have it at 18 degrees! 

Funny how you get used to higher temperatures. Last year in Lapu-Lapu there were some early mornings when it was about 26 and a bit windy, and I felt "cold" and put on a jacket. Can't imagine needing a jacket if it was 26 in the UK - people would think I was crazy!

We only use A/C at night when watching TV or sleeping - we keep it at 27 degrees which is cool enough for us.   My wife, funnily enough, isn't a fan - no pun intended - so it's manageable.  I have to say though, we notice the heat when there is a brownout and the A/C cuts out.
