The Philippines Department of Health gives a long list of diseases and health risks said to result from hot and dry weather due to the El Nino phenomenon, ironic when we in the UK are suffering our coldest winter for many years, also blamed by some on El Nino !:omg:

It is predicted that temperatures will be in the 40s (Centigrade) in April and May in Cebu. Unfortunately, I have forgotten where I read this!
