It's freakin' hot in the Philippines

Yah, the heat is really extreme, when i need to go out, i prefer to go out on 5pm onwards, even ar 4pm, the heat of the sun still hurts and you feel like your burning.

Even many of the Asian countries are having about 40 d.c. at various places. As a part of your job, I am sure that you cannto avoid the situation. But, try little time efficient re-arrangement like the dispatching and outside works should be in the morning and evening times and if possible at peak sun time you can be at office and can be at AC environment. Probably it may not work out as per our decisions, still you can talk to your reporting authorities and some arrangements can help a little on this issue. Hope, the monsoons will start soon. Regards, Thank-s

Whats your work?

It really hot too here. The climate change really give worst effect to my city, because its usually really comfort here but now its really hot and humid. I think I gonna sick if the weather continuum like this, its really hot in the beginning of day but it will start raining in the afternoon.

yes, it is really irritating specially when i just came out from the bathroom and after 10 minutes i am already perspiring!

Wow! you might really have a hard time making your work be done despite the heat. O well, I recently did went out our house around 12noon and it was really freaking' hot even with an umbrella being used. the hot air will definitely make you all wet with sweat. and I hate that kind of feeling. I wonder what's your work? Guess it's really a hard one.

Rain or shine, its our way of life here, whether we like it or not. But hey, come to think of it, rain or shine, we are still here, complaining of hot weather during summer and complaining of flood water during the rainy season, and still, we love our own Philippines. So what we can do is use our dear old umbrella come rain, come shine.

es, I so agree with you dear! I am expecting that the later part of this month, (should be at the beginning of this week, since we're at the 3rd week of May already) heat would come down a bit. But I was wrong, I think it got terrible. I transition to morning shift, so I go to work during the day, and sleep at night. Because if I do the other way around, I think I am not going to get the sleep that I want. I don't like to go to work like a zombie. Now I am here at home, our sofa is warm when you sit down on it, I can feel the heat of the walls clinging to my body, I get thirsty easily. God, I am praying, for the weather to be alright soon.

i do agree. Though i cannot say i feel your pain, because i stay at the office mostly, but whenever i do go out to do some field work...ooohhh.. Unlike before, where i usually just drive with my windows down, but not anymore. I can't take the heat that even turning on the AC sometimes would not do. Wish it would rain soon.

Yes it's hot. Pagasa says the rains would probably come in mid june which is still a few weeks away. The good thing is i'll be on vacation for the next two weeks and will finally have a chance to go the beach.

Even us here in the summer capital of the Philippines we are experiencing unusual heat which we never had before. Our consolation is that despite the heat we can still breathe fresh air. Summer will soon end and let's hope this heat will subside and have our normal weather.

agree! the temperature is like a fever. what the hell! if this hot temperature would continue people may die. you can only feel comfortable with aircon places..

I just got sick because of this very hot weather. Our airconditioning unit here at the office broke down, and it's so hot,we had to use electric fan while the aircons are under repair. I think that this is the worst summer I have ever experience. Could this be because of the global warming thing??

One of the highest selling products in the Philippines is skin whitening creams. Everyone is afraid of becoming too dark and all long for whiter skin. If you go to Australia you will find all the girls lying outside in the sun trying to make their skin darker. There are tanning studios everywhere and you can now even get a spray tan to make you look darker. In the Philippines white skin is popular while in the west dark skin is popular or at least a good sun tan. Why do you think there are thousands of foreigners married to Philippine ladies, because they like the darker skin. Don't be ashamed of getting darker in the sun because it only makes you more beautiful.

Yeah summer heat is at its peak and our weather forecaster says this may continue until after the 2nd week of June. So I guess we need to brace ourselves for this kind of heatwave we are experiencing. One good thing the weather bureau is reporting that the heat may gradually go down as it nears the month of June. What I hate about these weather is when I am home. I cannot sleep well at night because the heat just stays overnight and keeps our room warm and humid which is just not comfortable anymore. Even the fans that blows full blast doesn't seem to work anymore. The Aircon is not a good way to escape it since that means you have to pay higher electric bill for it.

Yes its really hot today. Umbrella is useless. We are like in a giant oven. Really hope this summer will end.

Last year is also hot but this year is really ridiculous. The heat is very tiring, you will sweat a lot when you go out and headache will follow if continuously exposed to the sun even for one hour only maybe because you're starting to dehydrate. Last year we do saturation drive starting at 10am to 3pm but now agents are complaining so we do it in the afternoon at 5pm but it is still hot

I agree to that. Its really hot right now. Especially in Iloilo. I hope rainy season will come soon.
