Easterly Wind

In the onset of ber,..months, the season in the Philippines started to shift. From the hot windless afternoon, it would slowly change to calm mornings, but after mid day the wind from the east would slowly arrive blowing its way towards the south.

The deep blue colors of the ocean would now be splattered with sea waves. The situation will be heightened until 4 o'clock. We call this ocean temperament as "amihan" or easterly wind.

This natural phenomenon stayed till  the months of December or sometimes till February. In between this months typhoons are expected.

 During the fair weather, amihan wind heightened the festive atmosphere of Christmas.  It causes the leaves of the trees to constantly sway while the cold mist of the morning greets us and accompany us till the evenings.This is the pleasant time for bonfires  on the beach or in plains, for star gazing, while the Christmas songs were played in the air.
