Humidity levels

[Mr Pickwick]

Thanks for the above, My Fiancée (ARJIE on this forum) lives in Mindanao and the humidity there
is a killer. I have just checked Baguio City 17c, but the Humidity is 98%??

Even a hell hole like Bangkok is 29c and only 62% Humidity today.
I assume you get used to it, how long does it take, or do you always need A/C.?
Thanks...Chris

Yes, Chris ... the humidity in Mindanao takes some getting used to, initially. But one does, gradually acclimatise oneself to it - HONEST! During my second visit, I ended up spending three months living with close relatives of my wife, in a sub-division of Tagum City, Davao del Norte - a province of Mindanao - while we were awaiting the outcome of her Spousal Visa Application.

... that's surprising! Myrna taught for 22 years at Panabo National High School ... and attended several Teacher Training Camps in Baguio, where the mercury levels were supposedly much *cooler - probably something akin to the British Summer temperatures you and I are accustomed to - *which SHE, herself, actually prefers.

Maybe the site I used is incorect...
http://www.weatherforecastmap.com/philippines/baguio/
it shows Humidity today in Baguio at 98% but in Manila 94%.
I even typed in Rochester in Kent where i live and it says,
the Humidity is 73%.
I like the sound of Baguio.........

How can you go by one day's figures ?

It might be chucking it down with rain today in Baguio....and this time of year, probably is....hence high humidity.
