The rainy season finally begins

For months, the weather seems to know only one way. Sun sun and sun again. I like it nice and hot but what there since November has been accumulating of heat is quite remarkable. I would say I'm aware of in the last 7 months even experienced a brief rain shower and it was late at night for a whole 10 minutes. An absolute dream for sun as I am but one of the El Nino effect has also disadvantages that we often recognize at first glance hardly.
On the small island where I live, for example, the groundwater level by about 1 meter like what the consequence was that many of the private well water no longer gave. Plants grow everywhere else where you can find only withered bushes in front are all already dying on or already dead. Died young animals can be found everywhere in street nearby when you look even more closely. What is totally good for the Philippines seems to vacationers to poor Filipinos to develop total disaster. Cows and goats are no more food because the complete grasses have died.
But it seems that the time of the El Nino drought is finally over, the yesterday for the first time it has rained properly. 6 hours wonderfully cool water has been raining down on our little island. Just in time for the rainy season, said of the many in the Philippine TV they will appear later this year so come on the first rains, and we can for the Filipino farmers do not just hope that this is the last of this month
Rain was cast.
