It is the rainy season here and I love the sudden storms that come. The sun will be pounding down and so hot. Then there is a smell of wet dust and you look to the north and the sky is grey and getting darker by the minute. Suddenly the temperature drops 30 degrees. (And I’m not exaggerating. It will go from 95º to 65ºin a matter of minutes). The wind picks up and the lightening becomes frequent. The thunder gets louder and louder and there are so few other sounds to compete. Little traffic, no washing machines or air conditioners. Just thunder. Then the rain starts. Just a few drops but practically the size of 100 shilling coins. And slowly it gets faster and suddenly it is pouring. Then, as fast as it comes up it is done. The sun comes back out and it starts getting warm again.

Nothing like a good thunderstorm to energize you.

Are you near mountains or something? Where is all the moisture coming from that it has so much to dump and then be gone so fast again?
