Wow, I woke up around 2:00 a.m. to a noise. I figured either somthing blew up or thunder.

Then waking up this morning, yes, it rained! Clearing up now.

And the car was parked in a huge puddle. I did a major contortion to get into the back seat without getting soaked feet from the 8 cm or so of water it was standing in. Thanks to the remote which opens all doors.

They have no drainage systems here in general so water stands everywhere.

The desert has lots of standing water now and I’m told the flowers will come and maybe even mushrooms which are apparently a delicacy here.

And, it is apparently like the earliest every that rain has come. It smells nice and fresh outside in the office here. I’ve opened the window. You can do that here in all places even though they are air conditioned.

That’s all for now.

After the weekend, an early start on the day. A bit cool and there were a few raindrops on the car. I had to clean the window of the dusty splotches. I don’t know it it was dust from within the raindrops as the rain falls dirty or standing dust on the windshield that got drops of water on it.

So not really raining, just some drops. Enough to make the road slicker.

And, a few more drops hit the windshield while pulling in at the office. It is now, middle of the day looking overcast.

That is all for now, just finished lunch, salad, baked chicken, beans and potatoe.

Back to work!

Well, it for sure looks like the season is changing and is here to stay. Yesterday morning it was windy and cooler. You notice when it drops from around 40 to 30 degrees C. And today, it is staying the same range, around 30 deg C with wind. I never thought in my life that I would think it is getting cool when it drops to 30 or 28 degrees C.

Here’s the forecast for Kuwait.
