Clouds, Drizzle, Storm and Hailstones.

Sometimes you can't help but just wonder what is all the fuss regarding global warming. I mean if you have rain pouring down hard enough to make the trees snap, during supposedly peak summer, what's so bad? Experts say summer showers are not uncommon and it has happened over the years, but hailstones? In the month of May? Wow! Go global warming! I saw people on the road remove their getting drenched. Most of us didn't want to take refuge from it but simply cool ourselves in the cold gift in the heat from the heavens. It does feel like July/August.

Many areas in Bangalore experienced fierce winds and a heavy downpour. Hailstones followed and what was left behind was a havoc aftermath. Okay, I'm making it sound like a tropical forest but really, it was a havoc. In my area trees went down and electric poles had to be fixed today. There was no power supply for nearly 7 hours after 4 pm. The drainage systems were brimming and it was tough out there. After the showdown yesterday by the Rain gods, the Sun decided to show off today. It touched 35 degrees and there wasn't a cloud in sight. After 5 pm, that changed and now the clouds are warming up with drizzle out there. It's cool and nice.

The weather is perfect to watch the ongoing IPL matches with microwave popcorn bags in your pantry. But then, the electricity will hardly stay once it comes down hard. Sigh and yeay. It's thundering out there and we're in with a wet evening. The Bangaloreans love it. So, Mr. Global Warming, it's nice and we don't mind the showers in summer. Keep 'em coming, we need it. Feels like monsoon spirit. We're not complaining.

PS: I'm not ignorant about global warming and it's effects. Post is in a lighter vein. Cheers!
