WEATHER AND DECEMBER

December is just around the corner. So, it is supposed to be already cold and rainy here in Manila. But the weather appears to have gone berserk. You see, the temperature is so high that staying outside even for a split second will cause stinging sensation very much like being exposed to a lighted candle. I do not know why this is so. I do not wish to sound like a doomsayer but I suspect that we are again facing the onset of the much-dreaded El Nino phenomenon. This is just a nagging suspicion, however. In the meantime, we are awaiting for the official answer from the premier weather forecasting agency in the country, PAG-ASA.

Notwithstanding the dry and humid weather, I just wish that the Christmas spirit in us shall not be dampened inasmuch as we are barely a month away from that very important event.

This early, let me extend my warmest greetings for the holiday season!
