We thought that it would rain this month but we were all wrong. Now, more and more people are crying for water. Water wells in many houses have completely dry. they have to ask for a little water to their neighbours who still have a little water left. This condition is benefited by people who have more water because their wells are much deeper than the average.
I don't think rain will fall as we now have more strong wind. People say that strong wind indicates a long dry season. What about in your country? What season do you have now?

Hi!
In the Philippines, our weather here is more on stormy especially in our provinces where heavy rains are felt. In fact we have a typhoon right now, the good thing is we are not suffering much from heavy rainfall.

It seems to me that hardship strikes almost every where in the world. In America , there was a very strong wind skriking some areas causing total damages to houses and others.In Indonesia, dryness occurs in some parts only, the other parts have enough rain.

I am in India fortunately there is no drought here in Central India. However, availability of water is scarce and if rains do not occur on time there's a major crisis always. We need efforts to conserve water to build new reservoirs and stop pollution of water resources. However, we have an inactive government in India that is steeped in corruption and wants to do little for development.

In India, I believe, there are deep gaps between the rich and the poor as I saw it in Indian movies. Am I right about it?

Where do you live Devilova? Seems like you live in Asian country. I guess this is the longest dry season ever. Special prayers have been performed to beg God to send down rain for us all.

Hi friend, I am from India, here is rainy season now, but we don't get proper rain, it will pour every now and then and water deficiency is existing here too. Hope it will rain soon and solve the water issues

I hope so, vidhyaprakash_2. Thank for your support. Dry season only affects poor people. Rich people can easily buy water and they don't see any difference between dry and wet season.
