From June to November, rains are expected and downpour of these will be experienced all over the country. It has started several weeks ago as consecutive typhoons hit the nation. It used to be a passing episodes of rains, but nowadays people would panic a bit due to possibilities of floods, landslides, and other unexpected turns. Pupils and students are the most vulnerable ones, their parents couldn't contain their worries when these kind of weather occurs. Anyhow,we all have to be careful and be prayerful as well.

This should be good for you if it rains during rainy season. Although this is rainy season here also but there is no sign of rain here. They say its going to be delayed this year. We get in the last week of June through September end but no chances soon. You people are lucky. I wish there is no over rain in your country.

hello suni,
Rainy seasons supposedly starts as early as last week of May.
But this year it's kind of late.
It's already July but still the weather is too hot to bear.
Maybe this is another sign of climate change and our country is also affected.
how I really wish it would rain :)

yes that is true that from June to November is the rainy season here in our country,and there are many people who need to take care when this heavy rains come,because flood and land slide occur and unexpectedly,but we can not stop rain but we can stop having massive flood and landslides.

The only consolation from having this is the weather is tolerable and cool already that you do not sweat that much on your way to work. But the thing is you have to bring a lot from jackets to umbrella too be spared from getting wet on your way to work or home.
We also got lucky since the two typhoons did not directly hit us except the latest one that hit the extreme northern Luzon area. We now have to brace from floods as well event the low pressure area we encountered gave us that much water that flooded most of metro manila areas as well. I guess we have to also check the house from dripping of water from your roofs.

We really can't take the worries from the mothers for their kids because we have already experienced a lot of casualties due to heavy rain. Mothers can't do anything when these unprecedented casualties happen. That is why, we should be really careful and prepared for whats gonna happen. And mothers should listen to news so they could know if classes are pushed through or cancelled because of the rain.

Yes the rain is already pouring. However, we haven't experience a whole day of rain. Now the main cause of the rain here is the low pressure area coming in our country.
What we really need to do is to be prepare all the time. We must bring our rain gear whenever and wherever we are out of the house.

I am sad because this is the month when I will have my annual vacation leave from our company but then it seems that I can only stay at home because of the rainy weather but then I can always enjoy home with mylot and a cup of coffee.

yes, it is now showing a lot of signs that the rainy seasons have come. rain is continuously pouring especially in the afternoons and even during the night. =) i am happy with the colder air at night, but then i am of course worried for those whose roofs are not strong enough for the rain, and for those whose streets maybe flooded by the continuous rain.

It's rainy season here in our country but not much rain here in Metro city.
I am wishing for floods or heavy rains, but hope at least it would rain a little harder to wash dust and humidity.
