The Weather

It sort depends on who you want to believe and which part of the country you're living in as to what to expect from the weather. By most accounts, we're in the rainy season, which I personally would have to agree with. Without a doubt, what I can say is that since I've been here, it's rained A LOT -- normally about once a day, but by the buckets once it gets started. It can go on for an hour or so, or for several hours, but almost without fail every day. The forecasts for the month of October don't require just a whole lot of creativity -- with scattered thunderstorms, a 60 percent chance of rain, high humidity, and temperatures between about 72 and 87 degrees in every forecast. Unlike in East Texas, there's not a whole lot of commotion with thunder, lightning, and high winds; it's just very heavy rain. But then it'll stop, and it's pretty normal to then see the sun come back out again.

It's no wonder the jungle around here stays so green.
