The Weather

[stevewool]

What are your thoughts on this one?

For those who live in the Phils and have been for a number of years, has the weather changed?

We hear of global warming and the changes in the weather and what we are seeing too from many different parts of the world. Look at England these last few years.

So what are your thoughts?? Try to look back on years and seasons if you can or ask your partner. This would be interesting for anyone who is interested in making the move to a warmer climate but will it stay a warmer climate for years to come? Just a thought

[Michael Parnham]

It seems pretty general Steve, I believe the whole planet is affected by more severe weather conditions! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[KeithD]

California is having a really bad drought, and like us, that is due to the Jetstream having been stuck for months.

It is all going to get worse, so I'm off to Mars :xxgrinning--00xx3:

It's just spitting with rain here, just at the right time to cool things down a little! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Steve.r]

Hottest day in the last 4 years here in China. My ipad says 39 degrees but feeling like 41 degrees. Good job I have my aircon blasting out 20 degrees :biggrin:

[KeithD]

The weather seems to be related to the success of the LibDems ..... :furious3: :censored:

[Michael Parnham]

Well?????????????


Did it arrive, and more to the point.............. what is it :Erm:

Yes Simon, everything up and running correctly as from last weekend.

Mid range theatre sound system, but couldn't set everything up properly until we had finished furnishing, then did the final speaker balance with the microphone as it senses where every item of furniture is. Big success just like being in the Cinema, sounds great! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Wow, that 'sounds' excellent, I have an LG surround system at the moment but it's about 6 years old. What system did you go for Michael? Would love to have wireless speakers next time round :smile:

[Michael Parnham]

REL sub, Q Acoustics Front Centre & Surround, Yamaha Amp, Prefer Wired system. The type of cable I use is available on Russ Andrews Website. Check it out, you'll be amazed at what you find and plenty of stuff to upgrade any system! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I've been meaning to ask you Les, what car polish do you use on your Taxi? :Erm:

[Slip]

Lovely and hot here, but the last 5 days or so thunderstorms at nightfall. Doesn't help with tbe powercuts when it thunders!

I reckon I'm whiter now then when I left UK a month ago, way too hot to sit in the sun, as my sunburnt back and shoulders will tell you after 30 minutes in it a few weeks back.

A lot of people don't understand why I never come back with a superb tan when I go on holiday! I actually am not that bothered about a tan, I like hot weather, but a tan isn't a priority.

[les_taxi]

I've been meaning to ask you Les, what car polish do you use on your Taxi? :Erm:

Auto glym super resin polish - used it for years - really works well

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/categorydisplay_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_categoryId_165527_langId_-1

I don't believe that for a second, I'll pop up and you can do a demonstration on mine :laugher:


Get an extra bottle..................... I drive a Range Rover :icon_lol:

I use Showroom Shine been using it for ten years now, only takes 20 minutes and no need to wash, brilliant stuff but a tad expensive. I just wondered if you used it Les, being in the Taxi business and limited for time. By the way 1 bottle lasts 12 months!

[Michael Parnham]

Another beautiful morning, seems we're having a proper summer, perfect! :sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Yes, I have used it too but find little bit of white residue is left behind as it goes everywhere.

It's good for a quick polish tho.

You get a better shine with Autoglym but much harder work.

[Michael Parnham]

Lovely morning again, going to take Maritess to work then going fishing for some more wildlife for my pond! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Rory]

The weather is getting better now but still waiting for a good hot week to come along. The forecast is good here for 4 days in York but temperatures are only mid teens. :thumbsdown:

[Michael Parnham]

Bit cloudy this morning but seems very mild, mixed day on the weather front today :raining::sunshine::raining::sunshine:

[Michael Parnham]

Wow, what a contrast to the last few days, lot's of :sunshine::sunshine::sunshine: and it's quite warm, a very good start to the day and I hope you all receive the same weather today! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Rory]

Last night it was like rainy season here in York. This is now the height of summer !!!!

I love the weather in the Philippines and cannot wait to get back there all the time.

Overcast here now, looks a very dull day. :cwm25:

[Michael Parnham]

Well, we're having an excellent Summer so far this year, can't complain at all! :sunshine::sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[les_taxi]

Yes, fantastic!

[Terpe]

The weather's been very weathery of late :biggrin:

[KeithD]

I feel like a cooked lobster after the weather today :smile:

[stevewool]

lets hope it stays this way for the weekend

[les_taxi]

My Football predictions have not been so good, but I do think as we get into the back end of the year it will start to get colder :biggrin:

[Michael Parnham]

Well what a fantastic morning, it's so beautiful because the sun is shining and it's very warm, don't know what the forecast is but it's spot on here.

Woke up this morning at 5am and it looked as though it's been siling it down during the night, grass green, pond full to the brim, windows wet through - so I got out my microfiber cloth and cleaned all windows, wheelie bins and car also my garden furniture and it didn't take long really with everything being wet.

Thank you rain you saved me a lot of hard work and you've watered the garden also! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Well, it's been a fantastic day and here's hoping the summer continues like this till at least the beginning of September! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

Well, it's been a fantastic day and here's hoping the summer continues like this till at least the beginning of September! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

:iagree: ... and then, "an Indian summer", hopefully!

Too right Arthur! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[sweet_mazza]

Here in the Philippines,,, there's a storm coming. Signal #1 for Metro Manila. Better wear welly boots for the whole week for work. I dont wanna ruin my lovely flats due to floods.

Be safe everyone.

[les_taxi]

:iagree: ... and then, "an Indian summer", hopefully!

I had to check the term Indian Summer out a few years ago as it does not make sense - you are wishing for a summer of plus 40c in September one would seem, now I know you really mean a continuation of warm days into autumn but the term Indian summer does not reflect that. I think it should be re-named Autumn Summmer :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Good weather here in the UK, looks as though it's going to stay for quite a while yet, have enjoyed the odd rainy nights because it's ideal for the plants and everything is flourishing at the moment. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Aye, Michael ... except our apples aren't this year, for some ... :anerikke: ... unknown reason! :bigcry:

There are quite a number of Apple tree's in the garden of the Care Home where Maritess works and they are coming on really well, hundreds of small apples and the tree's are looking really healthy. Probably the slight difference in our climate could be the reason Arthur, yours could be a little later showing signs of fruit! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Beautiful morning this morning, not a cloud in the sky, hope it's the same for everyone!:sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Yes, a very hot start for the day. Do I get in the garden and paint the fence or stay inside and keep cool.

I will let you know what I did later

Wow, we've had another great weekend weather wise, c'mon keep it up for a few more weeks. What a lovely summer we will have had, a record year!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

What a lovely summer we will have had, a record year! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Not too bad, :iagree:, Michael ... July was our best month up here, I'd say - after a somewhat slow start - but last summer "crowned all" for its good weather.

[Michael Parnham]

Morning Arthur, nice to see you are up and about this morning, two good summers in a row so let's hope next year is as good also!:sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Showery but still nice, are we having an early change of season? Whatever, we've had a great summer so far, it would be nice if the weather would just present a little more sun for another couple of weeks or so just to round off, perfect! :sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

A chill is in the wind now Michael

[Michael Parnham]

Very nice this morning, bright but a chill in the air! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Dedworth]

Nice dry day - cycled 25 miles this morning, slept like a log for 2 hours this afternoon

Last night was one of the best sunsets I've seen for many a long time.

[Ako Si Jamie]

Overcast here, as was yesterday, but there was a week of blue skies before that. Kind of makes up for a lousy August.

[Michael Parnham]

Haven't seen the sun this week yet, been overcast and mild - around 17degrees. A couple of hours ago, it was raining and very pleasant and now it's very misty.

C'mon sunshine where are you? :Erm:

[Terpe]

Had a few misty mornings but always the sun burnt through eventually.
Above average temperatures and no rain :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Past two days have been glorious here.

[Michael Parnham]

Very nice morning so far, slightly misty but still mild. Could be a good day today! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Unexpected showers during early morning.
Drizzle now and I suspect most of the day.

Miserable.

[Michael Parnham]

Misty but calm, a little cooler today! :Erm:

[KeithD]

6C at 8am .... but sunny :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

Beautiful here, two coffees later my eyes are focusing

[Terpe]

Pants and patchy sun :wink:

[Michael Parnham]

Lovely morning again, must say we've had an amazing Summer this year, it's nice now to see that the leaves are beginning to change colour and It would be nice if the seasons do the right thing at the right time!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

I thought yesterdays early morning sunrise was one of the best i have seen for a long time, plus what a nice day too it was

[Ako Si Jamie]

I've just noticed this thread is in the 'Living in the Philippines' section and we're talking about the British weather. :icon_lol:

[Terpe]

That's the trouble with infinite possibilities

[Ako Si Jamie]

True.

Anyway, here's a nice picture of a cheesecake.

:Hellooo: ... it just goes to show the difference a couple of months can make Michael, cos - since posting the above comment in July (#87)- my apples have come on a treat.

Now, to borrow Julie Andrews' words from the 1965 movie, 'Mary Poppins', they are"truly scrumptuous"! :hubbahubba:

My wife likes cheesecake, but I'm not keen.I like a whole one to myself.

[malolos]

Went walking earlier, cloudy this morning also cool looks like it could rain later, garden needs it anyway! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

We had rain forecast, all we got was light rain - first for 7 months more forecast today - but we have blue skies, so if we have no heavy rain this winter, we will suffer badly next year.

[Ako Si Jamie]

Driest September on record in the UK. Can't complain though.

[Michael Parnham]

Been a really good summer and still a little more decent weather for a few more days yet! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Beautiful morning, another good day ahead! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Early this morning a little frosty being a typical autumn morning, warmed up a little later on and it's been cloudless all day, very nice! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Been at bit rough in Japan today :wink:

[Michael Parnham]

:raining::raining::raining: all day today, also much cooler but not cool enough to need heating on so that can't be bad! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

You were quite right Michael.
It's been cold, wet, dark, windy and an all together miserable day.

[Michael Parnham]

Dry at the moment, a little more unpredictable today, we'll wait and see :Erm:!

[KeithD]

Autumn is here. We had an extra month of summer this year. :xxgrinning--00xx3: Hopefully, the winter is mild and spring comes early.

[Terpe]

I'm looking forward to sunnier climes :biggrin:

[SimonH]

Ok it's official, I'm a southern softy :cwm25:

I put the heating on this morning :xxparty-smiley-004:

[Michael Parnham]

Very still and dry, don't know what to expect today. No, you're not soft Simon, I've had ours on for an hour these past few mornings! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Doesn't the length of this thread show you how sad Brits are when it comes to the weather? :biggrin:

[SimonH]

Doesn't the length of this thread show you how sad Brits are when it comes to the weather? :biggrin:


Doesn't the fact that you've commented make it even longer and sadder :Erm:


Oh bugger, I think I've just made it sadder still :crazy:

[Terpe]

Cold torrential rain from black skies here.
Looks like it's not going to clear up ...ever.
My visit to the Philippine Embassy will need to get rescheduled.

[Michael Parnham]

Most beautiful day today, bright and sunny :sunshine: but quite cool! :36_1_26[1]:

[Terpe]

Here for us, it's pretty much the same story as the past 3-4 days.
On the positive side the breaks in the rain are getting longer as are the duration of downpours.

Quack quack !!

[Michael Parnham]

Frosty start to the morning but turned out to be a beautiful morning, looks as though the sun will be around most of the day:sunshine::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Typical :doh

Apart from a few counties in South-West Scotland, Kent is the only county in mainland UK I've never been to.

Apart from a few counties in South-West Scotland, Kent is the only county in mainland UK I've never been to.

Apart from passing through English cities en route to London ... Kent is actually one of the few South Eastern counties I've set foot in.

And I have yet to visit Wales. :wink:

[Arthur Little]

:yeahthat: ... and I have only ever been to a small "handful" of the Scottish islands. :smile:

[Michael Parnham]

Been a lovely warm day today and I believe there's more like this to follow during the next few days! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

Sitting here with the light on since about 3 o'clock this afternoon ... winter has arrived! :bigcry:

[Ako Si Jamie]

Well it was 18 degrees where I was today and they're predicting Halloween to be the warmest ever at 21 degrees.

I remember the weathermen saying back in August that the weather would be warm up until November and they've been pretty much correct.

[Terpe]

Very warm all day here. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

Rained during the night, this morning looks very good and hopefully we'll have a good day! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[KeithD]

Went to Llandudno yesterday and it was 22C :Erm: :cwm24:

[Michael Parnham]

Rained very heavy during the night also quite windy but this morning it looks promising, will wait and see! :Erm:

[Terpe]

According to the forecast around here, I can look forward to an 80% - 90% chance of heavy rain falling from a dark miserable sky every day until Wednesday.

Found a dead frozen Pengu in the garden this morning :cwm25:

Ice on the car this morning, great stuff, a few more days of frost and the shrubs in the garden will become dormant and then I can rearrange one or two of them!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Hot hot hot today :cwm3:

Finally emptied the first 13 Balikbayan boxes
Time to relax with my friend Dr. Miguel whose just so cool. Perfect. :Beer:

Too hot to work much here in Davao City :Jump:

[Michael Parnham]

You seem to be settling in a little now Peter!:xxgrinning--00xx3:

[imagine]

Very hot today here too.

I worked only a few hours today on the building, the heat makes me tired so I slept this afternoon.

But saying that, yesterday I worked 6.30 am till 7 pm, tiling and doing the back jobs the previous workers made a mess of :icon_lol:

To be really honest Stewart it's the source of disagreements.
Carina now realises what a complete load of crap she shipped and just how much it costs.
Now she needs to find a way to dispose of 90%

[Michael Parnham]

Beautiful white frost everywhere this morning, very cold but nice and clean and very fresh! :36_1_26[1]: :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I wonder if I'll start craving for those types of clear crisp morning :Erm:

I used to really miss the beauty of May - June UK weather.

After about six months you'll begin to miss the cool fresh air and the beautiful snowy weather Peter, but if you can manage without it all well and good, I couldn't live without it. Look forward to visiting Siquijor in January/Feb! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Terpe]

Wow, I'm currently experiencing the heaviest downpouring of rain ever. Great storm to watch.
Fantastic lightning and thunder show.

Just been told we need some more food so looks like we'll have to go to the market :yikes:

I'm not taking a jeep in this storm......I'll fork out another P80 for a taxi.

Still, at least it's a warm rain hehehe

And I wish I had have packed more boxes, there's so much I left, gave away and sold cheap.

Now I find how much I could have made use of them here, things I can't get. Even the old fashioned tin bucket and mop, you can't get a good mop here and those that are supposed to be good cost far too much.

Calm but cloudy today, rather mild. I suppose it's hot and sunny in Philippines!

Little overcast today but not humid. Quite nice actually. Warm and still.
Off to the local market for some cheap, but very tasty, provisions.

I've been told to keep out of sight for obvious reasons :icon_lol::icon_lol:

[Terpe]

The sunburn I suffered the other day has now subsided and is at the peeling stage.

I've learnt not to work outside all day even the sun's not shining.

Still can't sleep in the afternoon yet though.
Practice makes perfect though :biggrin:

No rain at all today :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Michael Parnham]

First wisp of snow an hour ago, the forecast is snow in many parts of Britain over the next couple of days! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Lol, you made my evening Michael, in 2 weeks 2 typhoons and now possibly landing in snow next week :grosyeux: I need a holiday!
