Rain or Shine??

The weather these days has really gone haywire. One day, it pours. The next day, it shines. One day, it is chilly. The next day, it becomes scorching hot. And then it becomes cold agan, and so on.

This morning, when we sent WF to CH School and then WY to his piano exam in Katong, the skies were quite fair and bright. I thought it would be a good day as far as laundry-drying is concerned - quite a fair load of semi-dry laundry is still waiting to be sunned because the odd, fickle weather the past few days has caused the load to pile up.

But alas, close to noon, it suddenly poured so heavily that all my colleagues and I could see outside our non-openable office windows was a white 'blanket'. A colleague who had just returned from the ground floor told us excitedly that the rain had even come splashing into the exhibition area as the glass doors at the main entrance of our building were opened! This was quite incredible, considering that we have a porch with a depth of at least 5-6 car lengths from the road!

Sigh. I think the Earth is really unwell now. Hence all the earthquakes, floods, torrential storms, hurricanes, droughts, rising sea-levels etc happening across the globe. It's kind of scary.

You are very right.
The scary part is that not only the trained meteorologists can see the trends, but normal laypeople like you and me can also see the obvious imbalances.

This morning was cloudy (even foggy) and then now (2pm) it is big shinning sun (blasting hot). Tonight it will be about 15C again.

We are living at the extreme temperatures. If this can happen here, I dear other lands will have even worse weather trends.
