Weather troubles

At the moment we have a huge rainstorm dropping its water content all over the area here. It almost feels like being back home in wintertime. The sky is almost black and it is relatively cold at the moment.

This isn't the first downpour cum storm this week either. We had a similar one yesterday although I heard later that it was a very local one.

These past weeks every third day or so we have these storms. Sometimes accompanied with a massive release of electricity in the form of lightning. Sometimes just ear deafening booms. Like the one yesterday that made the glass window next to my computer rattle.

Usually around this time of year we have warm, dry weather. Now it sometimes seems like we are in the middle of the monsoon instead of cooing down to the Myanmar winter.

I always feel sorry for the people who are flying in or out of  Yangon when there is a storm like this. I hate flying on perfect flying days and anything less than perfect flying weather is worse. Flying in a storm like the one battering Yangon right now is something I do so not want to experience.
