First of May Rain
We felt happy and cooler yesterday because we had a First of May rain. The rains lasted for more than two hours, from 3pm till around 6pm. It was sufficient enough to cool the air and remove the humidity.
We have been complaining about the heat for several weeks now. Predictions range from 33 – 36 degrees but real feel is 40-42. Argh indeed, and it’s not surprising that misting fans, aircons, electric fans are turned on at an almost 24/7 basis. I don’t know how much some people pay for their electric bill, maybe enough for one of my kids’ tuition fee I guess.
As much as I want to complain about the heat, I think of all those people who are out there on the streets, in their work sites, exposed to the heat and the elements, working for their living. Here I am at home, pounding on the keyboards, working too. Do I have the right to complain that it’s hot out there?
Thank God for the brief relief from the heat yesterday. I hope the coming rainy season won’t be too intense like the summer heat.
