I got drenched in the two metres between the shop verandah and the car. By the time I had dumped my groceries on the passenger seat and leant back to slam the door, the inside of it was wet. It hadn’t been raining at all half an hour earlier when I left our accomodation to slip out and buy something for dinner. There was a bit of cloud around and there had been a rumble of thunder, but I drove the ten minutes wearing sunglasses against the sunny glare. Now this! A tropical downpour. Welcome to Queensland.
As a Queenslander recently returned, it gives me great pleasure to read this account of our summer downpours. Particularly the size of our rain drops. It is my third summer back here and I am savouring it all, including the pattern of heat and humidity build-up and the relief of a storm. Thank you for capturing it so well!
