Still raining
My phone keeps sending me flash flood warning (I may need to turn it off for the night) but I live on a hill so I can safely ignore it. I just watch the rain water flowing down in rivers and enjoy the ability to breathe (I think I forgot to take my asthma medicine this morning and I was fine).
It has been summer weather since last weekend - around 30 C and sunny. At least it'd be the hot version of Polish summer but it was neither hot enough nor humid enough for it to get unpleasant. At least not here when I work and sleep in air conditioned rooms and live in a semi-rural towns among more trees than concrete. It'd be a great time if not for the pollen.
So I've been waiting for this rain to come. It was in forecast for a long time but it kept moving away. I was excited this morning when I woke up to grey skies. It was finally going to rain and clean the air. The first few quick rains were fine but then it started pouring and it still haven't stopped. It's not a storm - no lightning, no wind - just falling water. It's been around 5 hours already. I tried waiting for it to clear to go home and then got tired and just walked through a square turned into pool. I took my sandals off walking from the bus home because it was easier to wade through water barefoot. I didn't mind - I liked it - but they already said ground is soaked and cannot soak any more water so it's all going to turn streams into rivers and create streams where there were none. I'm happy I live on a hill. I'm worried about those who don't.
