It was quick with the darkening sky and then it poured. I could feel my plants jumping with joy, waheehee. The rain was not heavy but just enough to deaden the heat and to wet the ground. That saved me from watering the plants. I cannot say if it is ushering the rainy season but maybe not yet.

It is raining again now that is 6 pm here. It is all right if it doesn't stop since the rain is just mild. The air is getting cooler.

I already contacted FedEx but they said they cannot deliver the rain there because... they don't want to get wet.

Good for the plants . But be careful , here when you have just a quick and short down pour you have to brace yourselves for the heat that follows

It is already 6 pm here and the mild rain is still here so the atmosphere is cold. Thank you for your concern.

I do not think that it is already rainy season now. I think they are just nature’s way of mixing that hot air with the cold air that it created the right condition to rain. I think we might just have an early rainy season this year since the rains came in early and for sure this cycle will continue to get worse and we even had typhoon in the middle of summer which is very rare to happen.

I agree with the irregular schedule of the season. There is no month that is safe from rains and typhoons.

@Alexandoy Yeah and this month is about to end and we are entering the half of the year. We have spent almost one quarter isolated at home wow this is first time for all of us I guess.

Oh that is a great news. We also need rains here as the maximums are going beyond 44 C!
Yet I also know that rains would also increase the humidity levels.

When it is hot here it is also humid so the skin is sticky with sweat.

Don't forget to shower afterwards ( it's what our parents taught us after playing in the rain so we won't get sick
) you might catch a cold Tarzan

You are right. There might be some acid rain so a rinsing in the bathroom is important.

@Alexandoy You guys are lucky. Botswana is a semi-desert, so rain can be very scarce. That's why we celebrate every little drop.

We also value the rain during the hot summer. But during the rainy season there is too much rain.
