Hot july

have you experience hot afternoon this month, well I do I have experience it and I don't like it. I have turned the air conditioning unit on but it's still hot. We have been feeling this for a week now despite the storms that is passing the northern part of the country. I have research a cool article which may explain why we experience such heat. This is the accumulated result from http://www.solarham.net/swpc.htm

Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 239 Issued at 2200Z on 26 Aug 2012

IA.  Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from  25/2100Z
to 26/2100Z:  Solar activity was low. The largest flare in the past
24 hours was a C1 at 1817Z from a region just around the east limb.
No CMEs observed in the past 24 hours are expected to be
geoeffective.

IB.  Solar Activity Forecast:  Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low with a slight chance for moderate activity.

IIA.  Geophysical Activity Summary 25/2100Z to 26/2100Z:
Geomagnetic activity was at quiet to unsettled levels with an
isolated period of active and major storm levels at high latitudes.

IIB.  Geophysical Activity Forecast:  Geomagnetic field activity is
expected to be at quiet to unsettled levels with a slight chance for
active conditions.  A slight chance exists for high latitudes to
reach major storm levels on 27 August, increasing to a chance on 28
- 29 August.  Increased activity is due to coronal hole high speed
stream effects.

it's the sun flare ladies and gentlemen I talk about this flares 
in my previous blog and further explain how dangerous this phenomena is.

Will PH be part of the U.S.'s missile defense system?

Will the Philippines form part of the U.S.'s missile defense system in Asia?

According to a report on the Wall Street Journal, the Philippines may be used as a site for a powerful radar called the X-band. The third X-Band is meant to complete a radar arc that will allow the U.S. to keep track of missile launches from North Korea and from China.

An X-Band radar has been in place in northern Japan since 2006 and the Wall Street Journal report said Washington and Tokyo are already in talks to put up another one in southern Japan.

"Some U.S. defense officials have focused on the Philippines as the potential site for the third X-Band," the WSJ report said.

Another X-Band radar, a seaborne one docked in Pearl Harbor, was deployed to the Pacific to monitor North Korea's failed missile launch earlier this year.

The report follows a decision made by the U.S. to shift a majority of its warships to the Asia-Pacific region by 2020.  It aims to bring 60 percent of its battle ships to the region.

The U.S. has military agreements with the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and Australia.
