Comments on: How to Survive the Cold Weather in Baguio http://www.i-baguio.com/surviving-the-cold-in-baguio/ Insider tips on visiting, living & doing business in Baguio City, Philippines Thu, 11 Feb 2010 03:43:43 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: lisa http://www.i-baguio.com/surviving-the-cold-in-baguio/#comment-27520 lisa Sat, 01 Aug 2009 11:24:21 +0000 http://www.i-baguio.com/surviving-the-cold-in-baguio/#comment-27520 Hi Marie, The rainy season in Baguio City, the Philippines (and the rest of Southeast Asia) corresponds to your summer vacation. And this one is particularly wet (while 2006 and 2007 were relatively dry). Baguio's weather is most perfect from November to February, which is wintry in the US (but not in California, of course) and really the best time to visit. The hairdryer as a portable heater is good, yeah? This particular tip has been picked up by site visitors and other blogs. Credit goes to Anna Barrios for that tip -- she was the first franchisee for homegrown pizza place Don Henrico's and gave me this tip while she was training in Baguio to set up her Libis restaurant. Now she's a chef in New York. Visit Baguio again soon! Hi Marie,

I think the weather is perfect. I saw a lot of people wearing thick jacket. I am from the california and used to 100 degrees weather and Baguio weather is perfect the only time I wore a jacket its because its raining and I need a raincoat otherwise I love the weather. I can't stand the humidity but the coolness is perfect. But your tips is very helpfull. I especially like using the dryer to warm the clothing before wearing it and also i should use it inside the blankets before getting in. I will try it next time, but I don't think i want to go back in a rainy season again. I thank you. I just got back from baguio. I think the weather is perfect.

Rainshowers in February are unusual. I love the cold, dry or wet, it doen’t matter — both romantic! Lisa, what a way to end the summer with Cosme. If that's a sample of what is in store for us this coming rainy season, we better be prepared. Lisa, on March 5th, 2008 at 10:56 am Said:

When you speak to a native, they will always refer to the rain as 'Blessing!' Janice, maybe they don't own sweaters kasi, just scarves. A scarf you can bring anywhere, too. :) Resty, a cooler summer nevertheless! When you speak to a native, they will always refer to the rain as ‘Blessing!’

That'll be great for our water supply in Baguio. But for people vacationing, won't be as enjoyable. Wet summer, Lisa? That’ll be great for our water supply in Baguio.
