Here comes the rains

When I was younger I hoped it rained every morning so I don’t go to school early, and when it rains too I would go into the rain to play but it doesn’t always end well, mummy will shout at me to get back in and I would eventually end up with a cold. Till now I sometimes hope it rains during a lecture time so that I don’t go . Sleeping during downpour hits on a different level .

Since childhood I have never liked the dry season. Because you would have to always smear body cream to avoid getting dry scaly skin, you easily get dehydrated,cracked heels and dry lips . This particular season is characterized by very cold mornings and very dry hot afternoons along with dry winds. The dry season has is own positive impacts as well. It easier to dry grains and other seeds. It is easier to dry clothes and more . I think it is now obvious I love the rainy season more

In Ghana there are only two seasons, the rainy and the dry also known as harmattan. At my side of the country which is the northern we experience a shorter rainy season and a more hotter longer and dry season. But that’s different from the southern part of Ghana which has a longer rainy season characterized by heavy downpours and frequent showers. The rainy season is often at its peak in July in the country. During the rainy season the weather is much cooler with lower temperatures than the dry season . You don’t easily get dehydrated nor get dry lips and cracking heels or feet.

Nothing excites me more than the sight of dark heavy rainclouds forming and approaching . I don’t not like lighting and very loud thunders but I love the rains. The first rains always brings excitement to everyone because it mark the starting of the farming season. Sometimes the rains come with a hails. I’m usually so excited about it that I go out to pick them. But sadly it melts very fast. Also during this season rainbows occur . I find it so aesthetic and beautiful

As much as like rainy season it comes with its own side effects . Sometimes flooding may occur in some areas sometimes during heavy downpour it destroys properties such as houses and even some crops.
