Here Comes the Rain Again

A lot of people were surprised by the sudden onset of rain these past few weeks. When most of us were bracing for hot summer months, what we got was cold, rainy weather. This may have dimmed the hopes of people planning to spend their summer by the beach or swimming resorts. But for most people, the transition to a milder weather was welcome.

For my part, I braced myself and my mother for the sweltering heat by buying an airconditioner. I had it installed around the first week of April in preparation for the summer heat. The appliance cost me about half of what I usually get as my net pay working in a call center. But I said that paying for that amount will be worth all the comfort once the summer heat sets in.

Now that the rainy season has come early, I was only able to use the aircon for two nights. Sometimes when I am bundled beneath my blankets, relishing the cold night air after the rain, I wonder if I may have bought the aircon in a bad time. With the mild weather we have never used the aircon again after those two nights prior to the onset of rain. Talk about bad choices.

The weather forecasters have not yet announced the end of the summer season. For them the rains are just abnormal occurences brought about global warming. One thing is for sure, that the rains have come again here in the Philippines.
