I couldn’t help but grab my camera last week when the skies finally filled with clouds and the very first flash rainstorm of the season broke. Every summer there are a ton of these little spurts of rain… But don’t be fooled. Spurt because the storm lasts for about 5 minutes.. But not for nothing, the rain definitely delivers. Think thick, heavy raindrops coming down in a massive deluge. There’s nowhere to hide if you happen to be outside at the time (I was happily pearched on my balcony out of wetness’ way,) and then like magic the clouds dissapear and the sun comes out, as if there never was a cloud in the sky. Post rain, like clockwork the humidity brakes, and the suffocating heat settles but people caught in the storms way all of the sudden look particularily ridiculous, walking around soaking wet while the sun beats down on them…
