Rainy Season

Here in Nairobi, Kenya the weather is relatively mild throughout the year. Never too hot or too cold, usually in the 60s and 70s. Instead of four distinct seasons throughout the year, we have several rainy seasons. The longest rainy season usually is from March-May. This year, the rainy season evidently has come early. This week it has started to rain hard.

The clip below is a short video I took a few days ago while I was in downtown Nairobi restocking a few supplies. Not exactly the best time to be walking around on foot! As I walked through the main road of Moi Avenue, it started raining and hailing really hard. I had to pause for a few minutes to keep dry for a second. I caved and bought an umbrella on the way to shelter. By the time I got inside, I was drenched. It was just about flooding with waters as high as my knees. From now on, I am going to remember to always bring an umbrella with me.
