We all are waiting for rain. its been maybe the most hot 2 weeks now in June in my country ever. And all this time without any signs of rain, clouds, wind - only sun and temperature under 30 degrees by Celsius. Everything burning out - grass, vegetables in garden - everything! So, today we set up water pump to take water from near ditch to water garden. But as sometimes it already happened as soon as we made it to work clouds shown up and not the white, but dark rainy clouds. Still it is not raining here, but at least air temperature have fallen to some 25C. Where is the rain?

Hello iDivision, The rain has been here all the time. This May we had the rainiest month I remember. Here it rained almost every day. And the weather forecast for this weekend says we should expect heavy rain and thunderstorms. My plans for the weekend are gone for this reason. Maybe the clouds will go East and they'll water your thirsty garden.

Here in Philippines, we are waiting for the Sunshine comes out. Its been 2 days from since I saw the sun again. We encountered 2 days non-stop raining from Morning to Evening. Good thing that he rain was normal. No typhoon attached on it. Or else we will be facing another type of Ondoy.

In the country where I am now, no possibility for a rain coming. We experience more sandstorm than any rain. It's very hot here, more than 44 degrees centigrade. I am afraid to go outside my room because of the weather condition. This weather will end up to the middle of November or December, so more months we experience a very hot temperature

probably up there, still gathering. it makes me scared though because when they decide to go down, they are heavy and they cause floods and landslides. i hope it would not be that way.

It's been raining here in my place for a week and the climate is getting fine. there are some places here in our country that still haven't experienced this rainy season ,but hoping for this month. It's really sad when rain doesn't come on time when crops and all the fields are too dry that even animals are suffering a lot too.
