How’s the weather?

The only time in my life where I've experienced that "warm shower" was when I went to Florida in 2010. It would be blazing hot all day and then late afternoon early evening the clouds would gather and the heavens would open up. I've never experienced rain like that since, absolutely torrential, and yet lovely and warm.

The lightning shows are amazing here. Almost nightly we get them, now in the rainy season. When the sun goes down, the clouds pour in and time for the light show. I don't know why it is but the locals seem to be absolutely afraid of the rain. Where as me I love walking around in it.

Until you get struck by lightning!! I'm with the locals on this one, lol.

Some men fear nothing

The various time zones around the world are enough as it is, never mind the northern and southern hemisphere changing their clocks twice a year too, and at different times too.

Yeah, I forgot about that extra complication. In the southern hemisphere, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east...and the clocks all run backwards, with the 1 just to the left of the 12 and so forth. Toilets flush backwards...water flows uphill...Christmas in the middle of summer...

Finally enjoying the cooler weather.

"Cooler"?!?!?!?

Perhaps "slightly less blistering" would be more accurate...

Actually, John, people have started wearing their jackets and sweaters because just a few degrees less can feel way too cold for us. Heaters will be turned on, and we’ll limit exposure to the outside world at night. Just the day before yesterday, the temperature was 24 degrees Celsius, and I had to wear my jacket outside!
