27th October 2010 The first snow of the season overnight on the mountains.  Today started off cloudy but ended up clear with some blue skies giving us some fine views of the snow-topped mountains.  The winter sports season is of course still a way off, but it is always good to see that first sprinkling of snow.

23rd October 2010 It's getting colder!  Snow is likely sometime in the next few days but until then take a look at some of the photos below from around the region.


15th October 2010 The autumn colours are now looking good on the mountain at 1400m and above and slowly making their way down. Here are some recent photos to give you an idea of the scenery on view....


23rd September 2010

Since the last reports, temperatures have really dropped down and we are now most definitely into autumn season.  Temperatures are now under 20 degrees many days and getting almost chilly during some evenings.  A lovely time to be in the area and from now the spectacular autumn colours should be starting to appear.  We should be seeing some fine weather conditions over the weekend.


10th September 2010 Things are beginning to feel more like autumn now in the region.  The prospect of a typhoon coming over the region cooled things down mid-week and it is warmer today but still the heat seems to have calmed down.  It may get warmer over the weekend once again but come next week we can expect cooler temperatures in the valley, down to village level.  In the coming weeks and months of course the scenery will be transforming into spectacular autumn colours.  A great time of year!


3rd September 2010 Just a quick update this week as the weather continues to be hot and it still feels like summer.... and more sun and hot temperatures forecast for the coming week.  Autumn shouldn't be too far off!
