Since yesterday, it was raining here in Bicol. And the rain isn’t just a drizzle, but it was a bit heavy. From the looks of it, if it would continue that way, until tonight, some main thoroughfares will already be flooded. In turn, it would also mean suspension of classes for the school girls and boys. PAG-ASA said that this LPA will be until Thursday. Oh my, it means I will always be going to our office until Thursday in my rubber slippers, with my sandals in another bag.

I have observed the weird kind of weather condition here in Cebu too. The PAGASA has spoke about it that it will last for a week. Good thing I don't have classes anymore. I just stay here in our house the whole week until summer classes will start. Hopefully everything will turn out okay and the weather will be back to normal.

This kind of weather is persistent here in our province my friend. That's why, i am really longing for the "real summer" to start. We have lots of outdoor amenities in our company's mall for this summer, but because of the rains they are not yet being started with. I wish this rain will indeed be until this week only.

It is quite here now. I am sweating and I am using my fan in order to relieve the hotness. Well, good luck my friend for the outdoor amenities in your company's mall. I wish for its success along with the summer. All is well. Keep the faith in you.

this is bad news for farmers in the area. the government must support the farmers to get through this kind of disaster. flooding will eventually result from this raining. more anti-flooding projects must be implemented by the government to ease the flooding in the area. i wish all the bicolanos would be safe after this.

Yes, when it rains continuously, it will also affect the rice fields and plants of the farmers. That's why, the government is so concerned with all the people whenever it continuously rain. I really hope it will be over soon, this LPA.

Even here in Manila all of a sudden the weather went from sunny to gloomy. Looks like it is no summer. But I think we should expect this since even Pag-Asa said it would be wet and rainy summer season. I think we should welcome the wet summer top alleviate the summer heat we do have during summers. But this will be a damper for those planning to go to the beach and resort since it would not be fun swimming when it rains.

Speaking of swimming in the beach while it rains, i have experienced that already. And it's so nice to swim when it rains , because the water felt a bit warm. And there's no risk of getting sun burned.

Some bits of rain during summer would be really good. At least the plants will not dry and wither. In addition, it will freshen the atmosphere.

I don't like summer especially here in metro city as you know the pollution and humidity. So, this weather is fine with me although we need more care especially our health. We must carry umbrella and other rain protection due to this climate change. It always rain here (drizzle and sometimes heavy rains) but too long, it only takes few hours and then its gone. The weather is always cloudy and still no sign of summer as of now.

Yes, it seems that there in metro city, it's already hot . But with the LPA this week, the weather becomes cooler. It's good that it's just drizzle there.

Yes, rain is a hassle specially to those going to their works. When the roads gets a bit filled with the rain water and your shoes got soaked, for sure they will get damaged. So when it rains , i wear slippers and just bring sandals in my bag.
