"Inter" Monsoon, My Foot

It is raining heavily almost every day in Shah Alam. Not all day. Usually it begins in the mid- to late afternoon. It may last all night, but usually it's just an hour or two. Heavy, heavy, torrential rains.

It's like Florida -- people who have lived there for many years say the rain used to be very predictable. Then the developers drained the Everglades, and now we have droughts.

I don't know what all the developers and other money-grabbing industrialists have done in Malaysia, but it seems they have screwed up the rain timetable here as well. I know they have burned a lot of forest in Borneo.

Anyway, right now I can see blue sky to the north, past the pouring rain that's drenching the campus. So I hope this one is a short rain.
