Don’t go south for now – bad weather
The southern Visayas and northern Mindanao suffer ugly winter weather. A stationary cold front over the Pacific in conjunction with the Amihan (north-east monsoon) brings cool and very wet conditions.
After near continuous bad weather since begin of december caused heavy flooding, the Butuan City council approved a resolution placing Butuan under a state of calamity.
In Camiguin it rains now for 36 hours. The sky is dark gray and we need light all day over to see our work. The roads look rather like torrents and rivers. The grass fields are lakes. The only positive side: The waterfalls are outstanding!
