“No elevations are found and the terrain is mostly flat as
in the rest of the peninsula; the climate is warm and sub-humid, with an
average temperature of 26.3ºC and a rainy season from June to October. The
tropical storms that are common during this season in the peninsula eventually
reach the Campeche
To me the sound of rainy season is one dreary day of rain
after another with lots of wet and cold. I’m from the east coast of Canada
Here in Campeche its one fabulous sunny day after another
with the odd few hours of a spectacular rain storm show thrown in to refresh
the greenery and you, if you let it.
So far the rain only seems to come about every week and a
half for a few hours. Now when it does
rain here but it’s quite an event. The
sky is really dark with ominous and unusual cloud formations. When it starts be assured, all will be
soaked. You get a clue of this when you
see a door and the door step covers about a foot of the bottom of the
door. This is so the water will not run
in when the street floods.
Our street becomes a river as you see shoes, bottles and
whatever else you might be missing flowing along.
And the lightening and thunder show. Fabulous!
Caught a bit of it the other week.
Maybe it will get worse as we get into hurricane
season. For now we will enjoy the brief shows
and how they refresh all.
It reminds me of when our dear mother would indulge us and
let us go out into the rain in our bathing suits. That was such a treat! We could be wet with the rain and run and
splash in every mud hole that a child is usually drawn to. It was a delight! Not sure how she ended up cleaning two little
muddy piggies but it was a great time of youthful fun. Clean doesn’t seem the right word but really
it was good, clean fun.
Do you have a happy rainy day memory or two? Love to hear them.
