Strong monsoon

After the hammer heatwave earlier in the week, it is now cloudy with occasional showers. Gusty southwesterly winds are sweeping in from the South China Sea. The wind has blown so hard that it seemed prudent to move the plants on the balcony to the indoors! What with the wind and all, temperature is down to a very pleasant 27C.

Thunderstorms are forecast. Then will be time to shut down and unplug the computer, de-couple the modem. The electric storms hereabouts can fry a hard-drive and much else besides.

Me? I'll sit on the balcony to watch and enjoy one of nature's greatest show.
