Rain, Rain Go Away!

Post by Sarsippius »

It's barely stopped raining here for over a week, it's not really unusual, we get one or two weeks like this every year but I think it seems a bit worse atm because it's been so constant. This is from the airport meter about 5km from my house.

19th 7.4
20th 86.8
21st 3.6
22nd 46.6
23rd 33.2
24th 20.4
25th 26.8
26th 50.8
27th 98.6
28th 136.2

There's nothing quite like a monsoonal downpour, sometimes there's very little wind and no thunder or lightning but the rain just pelts down, comes in waves as they drift by. I got woken up the other night to something like that, it was coming down so hard it was just pounding the roof.

The little weather meter thing I have in the house has had the humidity level at 80% the whole time, no dryer means wet clothes go on the clothes horses under the ceiling fan, they won't get 100% dry but then nothing is atm :shake:

Not sure if this is really interesting, just a bit of slice of life from the tropics :)

Send some to Cape Town. A city of 4 million is about to run out of water!

Something like 80% of Jans monthly avg rainfall in one night here.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.

What would you want them to do? Make it rain?
