After the Monsoon – Well we were meant to arrive after the monsoon! It isn’t our fault though. We got here a week later than expected and the monsoon continues (though clearly lessening) with record volumes of rain falling. From the safety and security of an air-conditioned luxury apartment the sudden rains just seem like a delightful scene out of Singing in the Rain as the deluge hits suddenly and lifts as suddenly. Zooming in on the less fortunate residents and motorists shows less entertaining aspects of poor drainage. Early monsoon was light and there was fear of not sufficient rain and now there have been heavy and longer rains. Season total predicted at about 175cm. Imagine what Arizona or Colorado could do with that.
