The rain is all over us here in London..but as I write this the sun seems to have miraculously come out again. You guys are not the only ones getting the monsoon rains!
Did you know... 'The English monsoon came from Portuguese monção, ultimately from Arabic mawsim (موسم "season"), "perhaps partly via early modern Dutch monsun".The Arabic-origin word mausam (मौसम, موسم) is also the word for "weather" in Hindi, Urdu, and several other North Indian languages'. Thank you Wiki :) And that 'A monsoon is a seasonal prevailing wind that lasts for several months, caused by the development of a thermal low over a land mass normally within the subtropics' So it's all about the wind, but that brings in the rain so I guess we tend to relate it rains.
Oh yeah, the the picture is all about how rain is produced!
