I am interested in the mechanics of the monsoon season, I will have to do some research on how they function here. Drought is the big fear for us, it may be what caused the Maya empire to fade and it still has a great effect on current lives. Normally we get most of our rain in the summer monsoons and very little the rest of the year. If summer rain is light, the underground rivers and water tables lower and crops fail. This winter it rained more than usual and hopefully that does not mean less rain in the summer. If high heat in the spring is what brings the rains then that is another reason to welcome it. Truthfully, I don't mind it so much although for the first time since I have lived here I have spent several nights sleeping with AC. I blamed it on the suddenness of the onset of heat this year, normally it builds more slowly.
