That little jingle is cute HOTPE!
And MidnightRambler: "There's no such thing as an "average year" here. The average rainfall for any given place is just in between years when there are droughts or floods (usually two or three years of each in a row). That was true even before climate change started to kick in and it can only get worse."
That statement is so true. There sometimes seems to be a pattern for when the droughts hit, (usually late December through February) but not this year and not many other years. I've been keeping track since the early 80's. A couple of years in a row seems to make a trend but nothing to bank on. I've had so many people from the mainland ask, "when is the dry season?" My reply is usually, "There is no dry season" Sometimes the drought is in February, Sometimes it's August and sometimes not at all.
This rainy weather reminds me of how it was in the late 80's. Consistently rainy with brief spells of sunshine. The plants grow really fast because of it.
