This early morning is the coldest temperature we had so far here in our city. It dipped down to 17.8 degrees Celsius. It is the second place following our summer capital, (Baguio city) in having the coldest temperature, yet again.
Yesterday, I wore a thick sweater and when we left the hospital at 10:45PM, I did not remove my scrub suit, so I had 4 layers of shirt, and still, I felt so cold.
My big brother thought 19 degrees was the coldest that he felt here. I don’t know if he felt the 17.8, because he and our kid brother left yesterday after lunch.
The temperature here made a 360 degrees U-turn from the coldest last Yuletide season. We thought the cold climate is only for 2 weeks; I think I made a discussion about how I sweated profusely while driving. I guess I made a mistake again.
So, the cold temperature, as announced by our weather bureau will stay until February. I hope so.
How cold or warm is your climate now?
I will be back later after i am done with the grades of my 5 students.

@LadyDuck maybe for you, 17.8 degrees Celsius is not very cold if your standard of coldness is 0 degrees, but here, that is already considered cold, and many elderly might die of extreme coldness and may cause vasoconstriction.

@ridingbet Not really, I lived 30 years in a warmer country, but you get the habit soon.

i guess you are already accustomed to the cold temperature there, that 8 degrees for you is not considered very cold.

i am back after feeding the dogs and washing their dishes.
it is still so cold here, and based from the comment of @Shavkat that their place had 17 degrees , we had the 2nd coldest place for the day. i bet this temperature will run until tomorrow morning. almost all residents here are in sweaters and bonnets, and i am using my mother's bonnet as well.

my wearing jackets during the cold season, it means our temperature regulatingcenters are functioning properly.

Not to mention it was really something horrible for me.

really? do you have a respiratory problem, or is it because of the joint pans like gout that causes you to not like the cold weather?
