[Terpe]

Summer is about here now.
March, April and May will be hot hot hot.

I'm still cycling between 25 - 35 kms every morning. It's usually sunny with blue sky but still OK.
So far I can only remember one morning when it rained. During the 'rainy season' here if it's going to rain it'll be late afternoon or evening time.

[grahamw48]

The cycling is VERY impressive ! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Dry forecast for tomorrow so we will be heading down to Dorset/Lulworth/Durdle Door and staying overnight down there (I just booked). We will decide what to do on Saturday afternoon once the ever-changing weather forecast is nailed down for Sunday/Monday.

Another sunny hot summer day in Davao City
37C

Add a 6 hour brown out into the mix and you'll almost imagine how I felt today :Cuckoo:

These daily multiple brown outs and constant water interruptions are really getting to me now. :cwm23:

Well...
Its bloody hot Steve...And no rain.
Beer is very cold though so thats a positive.

[Michael Parnham]

Our weather this morning is bright and sunny also quite cool at the moment, did have some rain overnight only wish we could have shared it with you Fred. Whilst living in Dumaguete I always remember most nights it poured down with rain for at least half an hour but I never experienced drought or a temperature above a max of 30 degrees and I really feel for you having to withstand the high temperatures that you are experiencing at the moment, hope you get rain sooner rather than later:raining:

[Slip]

Walked around a car boot sale this morning, blooming freezing...

[Terpe]

Well...
Its bloody hot Steve...And no rain.
Beer is very cold though so thats a positive.

Ditto

[stevewool]

Well its cool here without a coat, a little drizzle while walking around , getting ready for our walks up around the Trossachs , i have to try to convince Ems to wear cloths for sense not look at me thing :doh, but she does look good though :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Nicest day of the weekend today, perfect for those travelling as there's plenty of sunshine, sad to say not too good for the next few days. Lets hope the warm weather will arrive sooner rather than later as we have experienced a long winter:Erm:

[mickcant]

1st May tomorrow, and I still have heating on!
Never had it on this late before :crazy:

Sunny and occasional showers, pretty mixed but quite warm really so not a bad day:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Beautiful morning this morning, looks like summer is almost with us and the 10 day forecast looking very promising. Yesterday was quite warm looks as though it will be warmer each day for the foreseeable future :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Well not much I can do about the garden being thirsty Micheal...
Just got back from the beach with family and friends and got thoroughly soaked in ice cold SMB..
We are doing the best that we can under the circumstances.
Guess we just have to make the best of things Di ba?

Been a good week weatherwise this past week and it looks as though we are going to be the same again this coming week also::sunshine::sunshine::sunshine::raining::sunshine::sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Pleasant morning but a little cloudy yet warm, heavy rain forecast for this afternoon and evening, been perfect the past couple of weeks and the garden is flourishing hope our recent weather continues throughout the rest of the summer with nice temperatures and occasional rain:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Here in Cubau it tends to rain most days at around 5pm
By 6 pm it's a pretty heavy downpour

[Michael Parnham]

After a couple of dull days the sun is breaking through a slight mist, the forecast is warm and sunny today :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Here in Cubao the warm sunny days make themselves available for all to enjoy until such time as the rainy season gods decide to invoke a sudden tropical rainstorm each afternoon or evening.

I love the rainy season. Warm outside drainpipe showers and holding the children out in the rain and running around with a tabo throwing water over everyone. Still want to visit Peter lol

We were in Quezon Nueva Ecija just a week ago.
Next June 18 we'll be in San Jose for the weekend.

We'll be spending a lot of time in that area in the future.

[Michael Parnham]

A little rain this morning but very warm, a lovely day really!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Well what a fantastic summer we are having, a few days of showers fell upon us for couple of weeks but they were needed as our gardens were getting a bit dry, but overall we can't complain and just hope it remains like this until September:sunshine::raining::sunshine::sunshine::raining::sunshine:

[Michael Parnham]

Looks like our lovely summer will make it to the end of September after all, we haven't had a cold day yet just a mix of sun and showers:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[fred]

Weather has been great for last 6 weeks..Grass is green again and needs cutting...
I`ll get the workers on it tomorrow.:biggrin:

[Ako Si Jamie]

10.30 in the evening and its 26 degrees here. I haven't even got a fan. :Help1:

[Michael Parnham]

32 Degrees here yesterday, todays forecast 27 degrees max, will see how the day progresses :sunshine::sunshine::sunshine: very very hot indeed.:cwm25:

[Terpe]

20:58 and 26C with 80% humidity here in Marikina

Not too bad :xxgrinning--00xx3:

The daily heavy rainstorms have abated somewhat and it's easier for me to get out walking :xxgrinning--00xx3:
Plenty of new places for me to explore.

Still spending almost all my time in the house, repairing, rennovating and re-inventing.
Couldn't imagine just how much it would cost.

Be warned !!!!

Don't take this the wrong way Peter.
The costing for all this work is it because you have redesigned everything or its all just down to general repairs and maintance,

[Terpe]

Don't take this the wrong way Peter.
The costing for all this work is it because you have redesigned everything or its all just down to general repairs and maintance,

In principle it's both.
We had family living in the house.........rent free.
Seems maintenance free too.

It's like buying a second hand car, you never really understand whats wrong until you come come to clean it and service it.

Yes we've had some some major rennovations and rebuild etc but the electrics were in such a state that we decided to start from scratch. Electrical fires are so common here.
Also the plumbing needs attention. Just for example, not a single one of the 4 CR's had a working shower or flushing toilet. Why ......................?

We're living here. We redesigned almost everything, but we didn't expect the basics could be so so wrong.

Most folks here do not spend money on the house unless it's emergency.

Here's a typical example of money management:-

A neighbour her has a business selling laundry Fabric Conditioner.
We ordered some.
She told us to on the last day of the month. We said it's OK we'll pay now.
NO she said, if I have the money I'll only spend it now and then I wont be able to pay my supplier. :doh

To be honest, we should have visited our house here much more often than we did, but we trusted the family members living here. BIG MISTAKE.

On the positive side, we'll have a living space we like and with safe and efficient utilities. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

The important message is that money can just fly away here if you're not prepared.

Like us ..........

Well that made me smile and a little chuckle too about the rent free and maintance free too,
We keep getting pictures of the house in marikina and I must say I am very pleased ,
They have put grass at the front with flower pots and the inside looks good too, OK this may be a stage for the pictures and our benefit too, but I don't think so.
End of the day it is Emma's father's house she built for him, now we have our own floor there for as long as we want, so I do know there will be some sort of maintenance required at a latter date.
We do ask do they want more cash sending over for this and that but so far they don't, so far so good

[Terpe]

You're correct Steve.
We took our eye 'off the ball' for too long and it's our own fault.

But we're very happy here. Plenty of space to live a good life.
We'll look at the 3rd floor in 2017 :icon_lol:

[Michael Parnham]

Rain today then fine and dry tomorrow followed by freezing temperatures and snow Wednesday:anerikke:

[Terpe]

These past couple of months the weather here in Marikina has been very kind.
We haven't seen very much rain, or very much hot sun. It's been really favourable for walking around and exploring.

Our first 18 months of Philippines life was hot and sunny with virtually no rain. In fact drought conditions.
Here in Marikina the temperatures have been relatively low. We did experience rain almost every day between July and September but although I got fed up it at times it was predictable enough to allow some reasonable planning.
Actually, getting caught out in a severe rainstorm from time to time was quite exciting. But likely only because I love tropical storms.

[Arthur Little]

Rain today then fine and dry tomorrow followed by freezing temperatures and snow Wednesday:anerikke:

Yes, you can't beat British weather, on the whole it's very acceptable and the plus is that we have the seasons :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Its better than -41 any day of the week michael,trust me on that :wink:

:icon_sorry: ... 'fraid I've only just noticed this post of yours, Michael; but I'm pleased to say, the weather up here in Perth has - apart from a flurry of snow towards the end of last week - been pretty favourable, really for this time of year, and it's nice today, certainly. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Seem to be having a good run of frosty nights followed by bright cold sunny days, nice :36_1_26[1]::sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow as I have half an idea to get my Annual Report done at Immigration.

After a few wet and blustery days, this morning is a big change frost earlier but a beautiful nice sunny day and not a cloud in the sky:sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Been nice and dry this week plus most days sunny, it looks as though today could be nice also, hope so then I can get in the garden after I've walked to Aldi to do my weekly shop:wink:

[Terpe]

There was a news item on TV that many parts of Benguet saw temperatures drop to -2C with associated heavy frosts.

Looks like plenty of veggies will see a price hike.

For us here in Marikina it's definitely remaining cooler than expected.
Judging from what many folks are wearing, long sleeve jackets and woolly hats
are currently de rigueur

Well except for me.........

[Michael Parnham]

Wow, hot 17degrees on Monday according to the forcast:sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:
