It's already May and I have been to the beach only once. For the past weekends, our beach and other outings have either been cancelled or made indoors. I am disappointed that I can't go swimming in the beach with my family. Since all our schedules are free only on the weekends, it's the only time that we can realx and have fun. But the weather is not cooperating. This morning, we were again supposed to go the beach but it was raining heavily. I don't understand the weather here, it's summer but it's raining. How's the weather in your place?

Sometimes it rains and sometimes it's windy, but for most of time it's really hot. I live inland so there is no beach for me, but swimming pools and we go out only after sunset. The sunshine is really burning us when summer comes.

Summer is supposed to be hot but now our summer is different. We have many beautiful beaches in our country and it's a cool place to be during summer.

Wow, I've always been dreaming about having a wedding on the beach. It would be so cool. Don't you think?

Oh, yeah! It's a better if you have a sunset wedding at the beach. That's more romantic!

Hi! Weather at our place is also very hot and dry. Hot winds blow during the day time and it is difficult to get out in the day time. Evening are bit cooler. However, one needs to put on his airconiditoner to make oneself comfortable. Summers are worse than winters, in winters atleat you can cover your body with clothes and go out, however, in summers, scroching heat makes you feel uncomfortable.

To 'get' something (i.e. comfort of AC) you will have to lose something (i.e. money)....LOL!

Airconditioning units are a good relief during the summer but it makes the consumption of our electric bill increase astronomically.

Yeah dorisday, it’s really annoying and disappointed as well that our set schedules couldn’t be carried out. It’s sad that we couldn’t manage to forecast the variety of weather earlier. There are heavy rains during these few days at my place as well. The shower would pour at anytime. We are not brave enough to have picnic at the beach. We are afraid that it may rain even when we are just on the way to head to our destination. We prefer to have outdoor activities at the nearby parks during rainy season. Here we have dry and wet season only. We could enjoy sunshine every day year in or year out. During hot dry season we usually would visit seaside or mountain resorts to escape from the scorching heat. Happy posting

Welcome to visit my country dorisday. There are lots of delicious foods and local fruits available here. If you love to have fun at the beach, try not to come at the end of the year, for it is the wet season here. Yeah, the north east monsoon wind will bring heavy rain as well as the storm to our place, especially the east coast of the peninsular. Well, hoping you could enjoy the sightseeing here happily during the dry season. Take care and have happy posting

I am planning to visit your country later this year or next year. I hope I will be there during the dry season so I can enjoy sight-seeing.

We have had rain every day for the last 10 days and there is no end until at least Thursday. I woke up this morning and the sun was shining and I was so excited, but now I'm hearing it thunder in the background again. The sun is slipping behind overcast skies and the wind has picked up and the temperatures cooling off. The weather report I just heard said we were in for another round of thunderstorms this afternoon.

It's still rainy here in our place. In fact, there's a typhoon in the northern part of our country. Seldom does it happen to have a typhoon during summer. Maybe that's the result of global warming.

Until now, our weather is not good. In fact, there was a typhoon last week and another typhoon is coming. I think we will no longer be enjoying a nice weather this summer.

I live in the midwest and the weather here has been crazy. Had to turn on the heat last night since it was back in the 40's again. We were at 80 degrees a week or so ago and it was beautiful. I did have the air conditioner for about 3 weeks. We don't care about opening windows at night. Never know when it's going to rain here without any warning. Am sure you will get to the beach eventually. It's May, it needs to be warm!

Hi Carolbee! It's really crazy that we have entered the month of May yet it's still raining. We have many outdoor activities in May that it is best when it's not raining. I hope there will be no more rains in the coming days.

Where I live in the USA in the state of Kansas we have had so many days of rain here that I am thinking of building a large boat. Maybe call it an ark. I live close to the Medicine River (less than a half mile) in the Gyp Hills of Southwest or some say more in the Southcentral part of Kansas. our drought was broken and broken again and again. It has only sprinkled like 4 times today and no lightening, thunder or wind so it is not too bad. No beaches here.

Hi Nana! I never knew that Kansas has no beach. Anyway, you can still enjoy sailing in the river and it also has a nice view.

It is what I should be complainning about, you live in a tropical city, you should be happy about it :-) It is the reason why it is summer and it rains because it is what happens in some tropical cities like where I live in Hong Kong. Currently, I'm at North America, the weather is really no fun, it is May already but it is always chilly and some days get very cold and windy, I hate that. Spring and winter are fighting, I need to be patient and wait for the nice and warm summer!

Years ago, our weather was always fine during summers. It's only the past few years that it became crazy, I mean rainy days during summer. I hope it will become better in the next few days. Wish you will also have a fine weather soon.

While alot of you are starting to enjoying warmer weather, i am starting to put one jumpers and sloppy joes to keep warm. It is getting colder where I am. It is coming into winter. So all those who don't like the heat, you could try and come to Australia for cooler weather.

If Australia is only near here I would surely go to your place. LOL

Weird since it's raining hard in Arkansas too. Wish I could go the beach! Weather is a weird thing, and it always seems like it never works to your favor. Hope you and your family catch a beautiful day sometime!

I hope the weather condition will improve next week so we can have a good weekend at the beach. I really want to enjoy summer. Is it summer too in Arkansas?

the weather is very hot here in the morning and in the afternoon, but in the evening the temperature dips and the breeze from the sea is a big relief..
• Philippines
4 May 09
Hi Umamahe! Now I can't complain more about the weather because I could see that the weather is worse off in your country when summer. I couldn't resist the too much heat. I guess, I should be thankful for the weather we have,even if it's raining.
• India
3 May 09
ya i think you right. the weather is too hot to enjoy. but still its god given so enjoy. even global warming is effecting it. every weather is extreame now a days. i dont have beach near my place. so i cant enjoy the sea. but still swimming pool is not so bad either. here the weather is too hot about 43 degrees centigrate. how about your place?
• Philippines
4 May 09
I understand that your country is so hot when summer and if you could only avoid it, I'm sure you will do so. But we can't do anything about it. Anyway, as of this moment, it's still raining here and I can't even go for a walk outside because of the rain.

Summer and winter, which one do you like? I prefer summer. Watermelon is my favorite. Though it is so hot, but also help you to get up easier. Imagine in Winter, it's the most difficult to get up from warm quilt, but you have to, time is up.
• Philippines

Henrysun, we don't have winter in our country. Anyway, summer is still the best season of the year for us. We have lots of outdoor activities come May.

Hello Kencorrie! I have a brother who lives in Scotland too and his family lives in Glasgow. I have talked to him just a few days ago through Yahoo Messenger and I could see that your weather is fine now. I hope you will get to enjoy your summer there.

Perhaps it's a affect of global warming. Now anywhere around the world has a same problem. This should be totally our responsibility to recovering our earth. I hope we don't just blame the seasons or other else, but we can start from little thing around us to keep this earth good. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.
• Philippines
3 May 09
Hello Dianmelydia! I was also thinking that way. Perhaps you are right because the weather has really changed. When it's December and it's supposed to be cold and raining, the opposite happened. Now that it's summer, it's raining.

Ha, you think you have it bad ..... I live in Ireland, where its ALWAYS raining, ALWAYS cold and I havent seen a blue sky in about 4 weeks, its always covered in grey cloud. Its depressing I wana move.

Chatty, perhaps I should stop complaining about this weather of ours now after getting to know that you weather consition is worse than ours. Anyway, I will just pray that the weather will be fine in the coming days.

the weather is also the same here in our place, but still you can enjoy the vacation by doing different activities aside from swimming there are so many alternatives. like scrap book making or looking at old photos and try to make big wall album, swimming can just give you sun burn.
• Philippines

Hello Mhethess! Summer is the best time for us to go outdoors and we always look forward to it. Anyway, since it's still raining, your suggestion to do scrapbooking could be a good way to make us busy. Thanks for the suggestion.

From the responses of the Indians,I could see how difficult it is for you during summer. I couldn't imagine how extremely hot it is in your place during summer. Anyway, get some good activities for you to enjoy. Have a nice day.
