Heavy Rain


It rained very heavily last Friday. Along the road were 15 cm-deep streams at around 7 pm. I walked 30 minutes to go home, with my ankles under the water, and got totally soaked. Even though I was holding my umbrella, my jeans and parka were dripping wet.

Landslide has been reported in Northern Kyushu area due to this heavy rain. It is estimated that it rained twice as much as average precipitation in July for the last 3 days.

I have never experienced a heavy rain like this. It seems strange that it rains quite often this month, when usually it is very hot and sunny.
