And, finally the rain arrives!
We had our first pre-monsoon showers last night, a week ahead of the predicted date of an already early monsoon. After the intense humidity, the cool breeze was a real relief. Sales of rain-gear and umbrellas have been rising for the past week and will shoot up even more today. As always, the civic bodies of the city are still not ready for the rain and have lots of roads dug up or waiting to be re-paved, so there is going to be a lot of mess, if the rains don’t ease up for a while.
