Rain, or the lack of it.
Rain, rain, go away
Come again another day
Little children want to play.
Be careful with what you wish for; you just might get it.
Indeed, after a year of excessive precipitation, people wishing that it stops got exactly what they wanted: no rain. With that, however, came WATER SHORTAGE. Now, we are looking at what is fast becoming a very hot and very dry summer. The thermometer registered 35.5 deg C on March 3, the hottest day in Metro Manila so far (it's even hotter up north, I bet). Unthinkable, since summer has barely begun in the tropics. Quite interesting development because just a few weeks back, Baguio City and La Trinidad Valley were experiencing a cold spell, with frost that had threatened vegetable production.
The soil is so dry these days, particularly up the northern portion of the Philippines' eastern seaboard. Another challenging season for agriculture.
I hope the rain clouds come soon.
