As far as not being able to 'do anything', that is often a euphemism for "I'm too friggin lazy to work in this heat". Its common here. The ambitious workers will be up at 4 am and getting stuff done while it is still cool. Others will wait until twilight to get things done.

Queenie O. Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 Cool is nice... Seems that even evenings get hot too here in Cebu lately, so early morning is the only time to get much done. For the average Filipino here in the province though, it's business as usual, but at a much slower pace. Thank God for fans and aircon:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queenie O. Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 My sympathy to the many people in the Manila area that are trying to cope with the extreme heat and power deficiencies. Also all the people in Mindanao dealing with the heat and many rolling brownouts there. No real solutions in sight for the near future.. Many farmers in Cebu are dealing with crop failure due to drought. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gratefuled Posted April 19, 2016 Posted April 19, 2016 Hot and dry here in southern California. Working on my tan which has faded while in the Philippines. No humidity here at all. Perfect beach weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
