Excerpt from Birds of Calayan and Fuga, Babuyan Group
The climate is excessively wet. During the time we were there scarcely thirty - six consecutive hours passed without at least a shower. In November and December there were continuous heavy rains, which interfered seriously with our work. The strong northerly and north easterly winds reduced the temperature below the point of comfort. On October 20 a typhoon, which destroyed the church and many houses, cut down all of the bananas and ruined much of the rice, which was nearly ripe. The natives told me that this was the strongest wind they had ever seen.
