byebye 2017, hello 2018

After an unusually warm tropical December the weather has finally cooled this January. 

Unfortunately it was brought on by the first tropical storm of 2018. 

Tropical Storm Bolaven, known in the Philippines as Tropical Depression Agaton, spanned two calendars - 2017 and 2018 seasons.

Formed near Palau on December 30, 2017, Typhoon Signal #1 is raised in Southern Negros Occidental now.

Be well. Stay safe. Enjoy this. 

Happy 2018 to all!
