Another day, another typhoon.
It should enter the Philippine areas of responsibility Friday or Saturday, but it's not clear if it will hit us or not when it gets closer. But it could interfere with her flight.
Kuya is not attending: it is the start of the rice planting season. The irrigation water will be turned on June 1, so they can flood the fields to destroy weeds which are then plowed under using a handplow (large rototiller) or sometimes a waterbuffalo. Once this is done, the seedlings are planted by hand, but as the Philippines becomes more affluent, it is only a matter of time until we get machines to do this.
When you do this, you often analyze the soil so add the needed minerals to help the rice to grow.
So it will start being busy.
Typhoons are common here. No not global warming. El Nino or EL Nina cycle is the new way to designate the weather cycles. El Nino is named for the warm tides off of south America near the feast of the Christ child.
No, it is not a new a weather cycle but one that has occured for a long time and that can cause destruction as the Incas realized.
