Rainy Season......Part Two

 The last time I wrote about the rainy season, it was just in the south. 

Now it's started here. Rain, then more rain, and even more rain.

I've had enough, and this is only the 2nd day!

According to the weather app I use, it's going to rain until next week, then have one day with no rain, and then rain every day for 3 weeks. 

I don't know how accurate the app is, but it sounds about right!

This was this morning.


One problem is that the air pressure is very low.  At the moment, it's 957hPa. David and I have really bad headaches. I've noticed that the cats seem unsettled. I wonder if it affects them as well.

Another problem is the humidity! At the moment, it isn't too hot, just 21C, so the humidity isn't too bad. Once it gets warmer, however, humidity becomes a problem!

I've bought a load of dehumidifiers to put around the house, especially in closets and on bookshelves.

Dehumidifier

This uses calcium chloride to absorb the moisture in the air, which is collected in the bottom part of the container.  They need to be replaced every three to six months. The only problem is that the contents are poisonous, so I have to be careful not to put them where the cats can get to them.

I usually start running air conditioners at this time of year. The newer models have a dry mode that not only cools the air but also makes it drier. Feels very nice!  But we have no air conditioners as yet!!!  Can I survive? Do I have a choice?
