When I looked at the weather report this morning I was very excited to see that there was a 100% chance of rain today. In fact, nearly the entire island is under a heavy rain advisory today. That's truly headline news considering how little rain we've had. The wet season ended in October and normally doesn't start again until May, but this year has been especially dry. I can remember three times that it's rained in the last six months. Taiwan is experiencing it's lowest rainfall in the last 70 years.

I'm really looking forward to a drenching rain. I know that it'll complicate my commute - without my bike I'm now walking about 40 minutes to get to school - but it'll be nice to have a change from this relentless sunny weather!
