Rain!

Wednesday, 26 March 2008

It rained here last night, completely out of season. That's the second time that's happened this year (the first was in February, when I was on my way up to Dakar for vacation). My villagers say it's not completely unheard of to get rain during the dry season, but it still makes me wonder about global warming. One of my village women told me yesterday that if it rained she was going to start getting her fields ready for planting, in case the rainy season comes [3 months] early this year.

Unfortunately the rain didn't make it much cooler. I had to sleep inside last night, and it was miserably hot and sticky.
