I had a somewhat different day today. The entire day was rather hot and muggy until late in the afternoon, when my wife complained that she couldn't get home because it was pouring heavily where she was. I could hear thunder nearby, but it was not raining where I was. I eventually saw what she had been describing, though. It was the first time it had rained in nearly a month and a half. But it doesn't appear to have cooled things down yet, I couldn't say it was a relief, but I could sense that the wet season was approaching soon.

@rakski Yes and forecast has just reported that rainy season is about to begin. They are just waiting for some events to happen to officially declare that rainy season has started. There is also a looming typhoon near us but is not expected to enter our lands but is expected further north to Japan islands.

Weather bureau did say that the rainy season will start at the first week of June so the wet season is upon us.

@allen0187 I agree, the temperature has become much more tolerable lately. I’m finally able to sleep comfortably at night since it’s significantly cooler than it has been in previous days. If these rains turn into a daily routine, I suspect the temperatures will stabilize and feel much better in the coming days.

@rsa101 true that.
Although it has been raining more frequently in the past few days.

The rain I was describing was really strong, even causing flooding in some areas. But it wasn’t enough to cool things down. The humidity has actually gotten even worse now. I think it will take several days of rain before the weather finally cools off here.

Rain is probably better than unrelenting heat and humidity.

That is true after having been exposed for too long having rain is welcome change. What’s not good is the effect of it getting flooded in some areas where the soil has been really dried hard water is not easily absorbed by it resulting to flooding in some areas.

@snowy22315 This is a welcome change for the farmers to start planting again since soil are being rained down again. They just pray that no storms will happen any time soon so their crops can grow safely till harvest time.

@rsa101 Yes, they have had some flooding in the Southern part of the state. They have been in drought too long.

@TheHorse It’s difficult to be certain, but most of us in Southeast Asia are currently experiencing the wet season, while those in the US are transitioning into summer, followed by autumn and winter. Here in Asia, the wet season generally continues until the end of the year.

i hate humidity before and after the rain. it is possible that it rains in one part and not in the other; it happens here too.

It’s happening here too. My wife works several kilometers away, and sometimes it rains there before it reaches my place. The weather forecasters just announced that the rainy season is about to be declared once the criteria they’re waiting for are met. They say that continuous rain for several days will be the sign that the wet season has begun.

@valherma00 I think your rain is different from ours, as yours comes in the summer while ours marks the start of the official rainy season. Our summers are very dry, with no rain at all during that time.
