Certainly hot today, can Forum members really live in a climate that never really varies from this temperature? Imagine, no more frost, cold rain and cold winds no more snow no more Springtime no more Autumn, no more clean fresh air. Philippines great for holidays but living there is only for those who are cut out to go without lots of beautiful things that Britain can offer, just my opinion but would love to hear some varying comments!

I like hot weather so long as I'm not doing anything too strenuous.

My longest continuous stretch was 3 years. Walang probleme, but I do tend to lose weight. Never use aircon , but fans, of course. No point in trying to pretend that as a Northern European I'm able to put up with what a Filipino can in their home country. So, important to pace yourself.

I cant wait to give it a go. Like anything in life, its down to yourself to live the way you want to. If its too hot - find shade, too cold - put a coat on. Lots of good fresh air in the hills Michael.
Britain is certainly a beautiful place in all seasons but its the place the people and how you are treated that is the biggest problem with England at this moment. Maybe its just me thinking this

I'm the same as Graham Steve, never used aircon because of the dangers that lie within, but having said that I found at night there was no way to get cool apart from using a fan but all that does is circulate warm air, and when l was with my ex her family live near Davin a four kilometre journey up the mountain, no different at all apart from the beauty of the sound of local wildlife and a sky full of stars (really fantastic) some things in the Philippines I love but I personally found the climate unbearable and that's why I said some people are cut out to live in that climate but not me!

It was 36 degrees in our place yesterday and 12 degrees a few months ago. So, were I live we do have varying temperatures. From January to May, we tend to have very little rain and waking up to a nice day of sunshine sure beats a cold, damp, dark morning in my opinion.
Not sure how you come to the conclusion there is no clean, fresh air in the Philippines. Plenty of it where we live

I'm with Jake on this.
Yes of course Philippines is hot and humid. That's the way it is in these locations on our planet.
Here in Davao city the months of April and May can be very hot, but there are always certain areas that offer cool, clean fresh air.
We spent quite a lot of time in higher elevations of Compostela Valley and the differences are remarkable.
A few days ago we spent time around the area of Eden Nature Park just outside Davao City.
We even looked at buying some land at Eden Ridge.
At 3000 ft above sea level the climate is very cool with clean fresh air and the views are beautiful.
Even living in Marikina City, Manila, it's so easy to find cooler climes within easy reach.
Even apart from climate conditions, living here in the Philippines is not for everyone.
If the culture gets to you then you can be sure the weather will only exacerbate things.
I'm still creating my own world my way, but I'm able to manage the major differences in culture and climate without any major issues.
I'm happy, relaxed and slimmer

Overcast with threatening dark clouds again today here in Davao City.
Humidity levels climbed again to 80%
Still predicting rainstorms for the next 2 weeks.
We had a beachparty planned for this weekend but have postponed it for a while.

I wish I could be track-side at sunny Silverstone for the F1 this weekend, but funds don't permit.

(The graphics are incredibly realistic on the TV. Transferring to youtube unfortunately ruins them..and gives far too much brightness).
