At sunset it was 43c (110f) and calm. The humidity was around the 90% range. Stifling hot. In other words, situation normal on the farm.
As the twilight turned to darkness, you could see a smattering of clouds slowly building. Happens every night, leading to thoughts of the approaching rainy season next month.
As I setup the mosquito netting over my bed on the patio, in the distance, I heard what sounded like thunder. Surly I was mistaken.
I had just turned on the fan to provide some respite from the heat to sleep when a northwest wind began to blow. But it wasn't just 'any' wind, it was a cool breeze! Oh hell yeah!
I managed to get through the mosquito netting to look around when the rain started.
I should explain. There has been no rain for weeks. Normal for now. And when it does rain, there are two types you can expect. A lot of rain, or, A LOT OF RAIN! . This was the latter!
Exciting!
Yep, in less than 30 minutes we got about 10cm (4 inches). Beautiful rain, dumping from the heavens. It slowed, but lasted most of the night.
