    It's to do with the Asian Monsoon pattern apparently.

    My wife has been here in the UK for over 7 years now. She has almost acclimatised. It has taken some time to get that far. I mentioned Oss’s post above to her and she laughs at that sort of thing now. I sometimes feel the cold more so than she does these days.

    If she's living at a relatively high altitude, possibly high on the slopes of Mount Katanglad, it may drop to that temperature. We have land near Epol Falls up at 1,300m and it drops to that sort of temperature at night.

    From paramotoring I know the temp drops by an average of 3.3? degrees for every 1000 feet you climb.

    I once got the boat from Duma-Larena, mid 1990's,i think it was the Don Martin, an old outrigger pump boat. We got to Larena, it was sweltering upper 30's degrees, I was melting :oops: the stevedores from the old wooden pier swarmed aboard to offload cargo and luggage, one of them was wearing a bright pink fluffy mohair jumper, I never forgot it, I remember wondering if he had been sent it from a relative abroad or chanced upon it hanging on an ukayukay rail :rolleyes:
