Hari came from Muscat two weeks ago, is very aware of climate change. He, said that two weeks ago it was raining in Muscat. Do April showers bring May flowers?
For last two days it did rain in Cochin, high winds caused losses of property, like a Chinese net at Fortcochin get broken in the wind, and several trees getting uprooted. Yesterdays rain, as well as on day before yesterday, started at 5.30 in the evening and was preceeded by lightning and thunder. The rains stayed on for only an hour, cooled the atmosphere quite a bit.
Crop damage is reported from many places, pity the farmers who were getting ready for a harvest of whatever they planted.
Meanwhile, as news of global warming spread, people are aware and notice that temporatures have gone up even in Wayanad.
For last four months Kerala was under dry spell.
Today, the 13th April 2009, the satellite photographs show clouds on kerala map, so it is expected to rain. Last week, it did rain on alternate days for an hour or so, in the evening, so one needs not water the plants in pots around the house and on roof top.
Ah, ha, my reihan, sort of basil from Muscat looks pale inspite of rain, looks like it is in a pot with roots only.
The weather man said that, officially, it was rainy season from 27the May 2009. However the monsoon started two days early. It is not that non stop downpour, but just enough to keep us drenched and keep clothes indoors for drying rather than hanging them out in the sun for dryintg.
Today is the 27th October 2009. Warm day, it is cloudy, but no sign of rain. Intermittant rains are expected to cool the air, but nothing happening so far.
Thulavarsham, or rather the rains in the month of Thulam (mid Oct) started in Novemeber this year (2009).
