Posted on Friday 27th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Hello from Madarao.


There wasn't much to report yesterday. It seemed fine weather for much of the day with some funky cloud/fog turning up early afternoon (before clearing up again).


Today it's largely cloudy but fairly bright. The sun is trying to break through clouds... that kind of thing.


Some forecasts say our mountain might get some snow tomorrow; others say rain (and very probably rain down in the valley).


To cheer us up, Sunday should be sunny.
