Changing of the Seasons

For the first 40 days I was in Hong Kong, it did not rain once. In that time period we only had a few cloudy days. It seems that now the reversal is almost true. I have been told that spring usually comes about mid March, and I am starting to see it. For the past couple of weeks it has been pretty cloudy. Yesterday it was so foggy that you could not even see the silhouettes of buildings just a few hundred feet away. Every now and then it will rain, but very lightly. Today was the first heavy rain of the year. It was much like a very violent storm back home. Started with intense winds, then heavy rain. Lightning and thunder soon followed. After about 20 minutes the storm calmed down and is now just raining. The temperature has been changing rapidly recently. One day it will be unbearably hot, then next somewhat chilly. Still, much preferable to the conditions back in Ohio.
