Monsoon

He arribat a la India en plena temporada de plujes. Jo m'imaginava una pluja gairebe torrencial, una cortina d'aigua caient a totes hores. Mes aviat va a dies. Durant dos o tres dies el cel esta encapotat i plou ara si ara tambe, sobretot a la nit. L'altre dia va estar caient aigua durant tot el dia, pero va anar molt be perque va refrescar una mica despres d'uns dies mes aviat asfixiants.

Per a la resta de la poblacio les coses no son tant agradables. Moltes de vosaltres heu vist o llegit a les noticies que hi han hagut grans inundacions a Asia a causa del Monzo. Jo me'n he enterat igual que vosaltres, el lloc on visc es forca tranquil i aqui no hi ha hagut majors desastres. Tenint en compte les precaries (per no dir minimes) condicions de vida de gran part de la poblacio d'aquest pais, no es d'estranyar que grans trombes d'aigua provoquin tant de mal.

I arrived to India during the rainy season. I was imagining really heavy rain, buckets and buckets of water falling all day long. In fact, weather it's quite changeable. For two or three days the sky stays grey, raining now and then, speacially at night. Some days ago it kept raining all day long, but it was really convenient because it cooled down the temperature after some really warm days.

For the rest of the population things are not so pleasant. Lots of you have seen or read in the news about the floods around Asia caused by the Monsoon. I heard about it just as you, the place where I am staying it's quite and no major disasters happened. The living conditions of most of the people in this country are very fragile, so it's not surprising the harm heavy rain can do.
