Monsoons

So it’s monsoon season. The season started pretty much right when I landed in India. It hasn’t gotten too bad yet, but it’s still very early in the season. It has rained every day, and it’s definitely raining more each day. It usually storms for a bit and then clears up quickly and the sun is back out and it’s super hot again. The storms though have been getting longer too. At the end of the season, I can imagine that it’s almost impossible to get to the places we’ve been going. The roads are already really muddy. On one of our trips we were in a different type of car than we’d been used to, and it got stuck in one of the mud holes. It took four people helping push to get it out. So many adventures. Hopefully with the better car we won’t have any such problems again. But we’ll also be visiting some of the villages till the end of the month, and I certainly hope that we don’t have any major problems because of the weather.

We were told that the big monsoon has not hit yet. It seems like it has been getting hotter and hotter. They said that the longer it waits and the hotter it is beforehand, the worse the monsoon is. They also expect it any day. Or it could still be a little while. But I think we’ll know when it hits.
