The Weather

[Michael Parnham]

Dull, calm, very mild and no rain forecast today

[Terpe]

The rainy season refuses to completely disappear. Both yesterday evening and this evening saw heavy downpours for a few hours each.

Hopefully it'll start to clear away so that Chistmastime will be dry

[Michael Parnham]

Bright and Sunny all day today 13%

[Terpe]

Pleasantly warm with sunny spells today and almost no rain at all.
Best of all no 6pm brown-out

Not sure about the temp, but around 25 Plus

My tan is pretty severe. My white bits also

I hear we are in for a El Nino again next year.. Or was it an El Nina? Or both?

Dry, cold, not exciting at all this morning!

Looks like tropical storm Melor (Nona in Philippines) is picking up to pose a threat in the Philippines next week.

Could be bringing more floods and high winds to Luzon

'Nona' intensifies as it nears Philippines

Looks like you won't be affected Peter, Fred should be ok too

Been breezy today though Michael.

We'd just finished our usual 'al fresco' dinner when the rain started. Thunder and lightning and a tropical rainstorm is still ongoing as I type this.

But you're right. In principle we should be OK here in Davao.
The thunder is a bit close and scary right now for my wife though.
(and for me but don't tell )

[SimonH]

Getting a bit breezy here now

[Michael Parnham]

Dull dull dull ,but dry!

[Terpe]

Samar gets a big hit again.

[imagine]

ok here in manila so far, some rain today, and a nice cool breeze this evening

[Terpe]

Another hefty downpour last night.

Hope Manila remain reasonably calm for you Stewart

[fred]

Loads of rain for the garden!!!

[Terpe]

Very heavy rainstorm last night.
Torrential all night long until just now. That's the longest I've experienced since being here.
We had flood warnings but we're OK as of now.

I'll go out exploring later

[fred]

Oh dear.. Have guests staying in units..2 report that floor has 1/4 inch of water on it.. How in the hell did that get in??
I think I need a bigger mop.

[imagine]

theres been rain on and off for a few days now here in manila, today is the worst so far, very misty looking and continues rain

[Michael Parnham]

Sorry your all having worrying weather in Philippines, the weather here is very unusual for the time of year, during this past week we've had showers, bright dry spells and the thing that concerns me is temperatures of up to 18%

[Terpe]

Thank goodness that tropical cyclone Onyok weakened to tropical depression Onyok then weakened again into a low pressure area after making landfall last night (Friday 18 December)

We experienced a tropical rainstorm all night long. Not the heaviest downpour I've experienced here but certainly the heaviest over a long period of time. A lot of water fell upon us for sure.
It stopped raining briefly for a couple of hours this morning, enabling me to secure at least part of my regular cycling routine, but is now coming down again is the more miserable cold prolonged light rain of UK style.

Definitely a whole lot colder today, but we have no heater.

I took a quick detour to the beach area and it appears we were lucky not to have suffered local beach front flooding.

Hopefully things will clear up nicely during the Christmas and New Year period as I've sent all my fishing kit onward to our holiday destination. Not that I've ever caught anything worth a mention from the shore. But my upcoming chance of some decent calm seas in the Davao Gulf will hopefully bring some great beach BBQ's with the freshest fish.

Hope you can sort that one Fred.

Some weeks ago we had similar on our 2nd floor balcony from the bedroom.
Still haven't figured out how it happened but it somehow leaked through to the downstairs ceiling and came drip drip dripping.
Only happened the once. Maybe wind direction.

Hope all is well Fred, i hope the water was coming in the ground floor not the second floor

[stevewool]

I think we had better get on the phone to see if all is well in Marikina , no news is good news they say,
