There was a sprinkling of rain last night and this morning grey clouds are lurking above. I welcome the rain when it falls here. If we get too much sun, a subjective measurement depending on my mood, I can yearn for an overcast day or days with rain falling.

This might sound ungrateful to those experiencing more inclement weather. I put it down to me growing up in Britain, for which the weather (and its unpredictable and not always very pleasant nature) is quite often a topic of conversation, if not the opening gambit….and hey, look at this post, a Brit talking about the weather!

I like some variation in weather.

I have said it before on this blog, that we live in one of the wetter parts of Maui. All the same, we are going through a dry winter - I can see the grass in places starting to adopt a hay like hue. So on top of and more important than me wanting rain, the island is in need of rain. The storm a few weeks back dumped a lot of water on us, but the plants will use that up in time.

A dry winter, usually the wet season, does not bode well for the summer ahead. Here’s hoping that the rain starts falling soon. A little is forecast tomorrow and Wednesday, so fingers crossed.
