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.

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.

Most times a downpour of rain does little to cool down humid weather. But it is welcome anyway.

Yeah l guess a little rain would help but my wife complained of venturing to floods along the way because it wa heavy rains that poured in their place. Good thing she was ble to come home safely just drenched from the floods.

I hate when it rains, but doesn’t cool off the muggy landscape. I’m glad you got rain though if it had been over six weeks since you got any.
