Weather in the UK.

[Sophie]

I thought to start this thread because of a conversation we're having in another thread . . .


I have 2 questions for ya.

1) For you Filipinos living in UK, how long did it take you to get used to the UK weather?

2) For all . . . do you Like or Dislike the weather in the UK?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts

I don't know yet how cold the winter gets here, as this coming winter is officially my very first winter experience....
But other than that, i personally find the uk weather great as i don't feel the discomfort of heat, sweat and humidity

Hi September,

You're right being a filipino and used to a temperature of 18-29 degrees or 32degrees to the most and now experiencing the UK weather is really considered a drastic change for us. I think we don't have to moan, we just have to accept and do something to warm us up. Adjust the thermostat at home, wear proper clothes/outfit for the cold season. Wear thermal socks, shirts (if needed). No more outdoor activities.

In the Phils if we are in a humid place there are solutions to that as well. Some refrain from staying too much under the heat of the sun. Wear proper clothes for summer and have more fluid intake. Then turn on the AC. Some filipinos has their houses built in a sprawling type hence the cool air.

It is easier to warm up than to cool down?.. they say??

Don't you like the autumn? As you just arrived here a month ago? so are you not looking forward to the different seasons of this beautiful country?

When i first came here i was full of excitement, yes..... really very excited for these 4 seasonsand until now.. still excited ( i think this is normal for the first timers) because i was born in the country with only 2 seasons all year round but, I love the Phils no matter what...

Cheers

I live in Visayas, it's very humid here.

Those who are in mindanao will concur I think

A small part of the Philippines isn't overpoweringly humid . . . but the majority is!

I wasn't thinking about that when I was trying to navigate my way round manila with 40kg of luggage and no protection for my wallet in 35 degrees one time this year
