I have uploaded a short video in the middle of the deluge, taken on my mobile phone - hence the poor quality, but the batteries gave out on my camera, typical.
The rainy season is starting as the brief showers show us a taste of what is to come ... only the real rain is more prolific. At times you can't even see your extended arms in front of you once the precipitation (that's rainfall to me and you) reaches its heaviest ...
I know it's good for the crops as planting season has just finished, giving the seeds and plants time to fix strong roots before the rain washes away the weakest plants. There will be another planting season after the rainy season finishes. I am trying to get used to the idea of Summer at Christmas and winter in 'our' Summer ... I think it's too confusing for an old timer like me. The kids seem to pick these things up really quickly.
I love rain, especially the warm kind ... which this is. I would have gone out and given everyone a show by dancing in the rain - not really, but I don't think it would have been appreciated anyway. I don't think my talents are recognised, I could bring rain to the desert just by singing ... anyone want to pay me a fortune to try ?
