It will be cooler but stormy for the third quarter here in the Philippines. This forecast has been issued by Dr. Prisco Nilo, the country's top meteorologist just weeks after the Philippine Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) failed to provide the precise path of the typhoon Basyang, the second to hit the country this year and knocked out power supply in most of the metropolis.
I also postponed my next trip to Manila expecting the next typhoon.
Anyway, ill-equipped or not, PAGASA said the third quarter sees the continuing cooling across the equatorial Pacific. A God's blessing for the Philippines? Let's wait and see and have a cup of tea.
The south west monsoon should peak any time between now and September.... .Anywhere from seven to ten tropical cyclones are likely to develop and enter the Philippin Area of Responsibility during the quarter.
I just watch the news: Pakistan, China - and even Germany and Poland... .
