I now know why it's called the rainy season. It has rained heavily for at least 48hrs now. At night is sounded like sleeping in a caravan with the rain pelting down. Our classroom has a leaking roof (it's going to be fixed soon) so we had to clean out the water before we began, and then try to not sit under the drips. The roads near here are awash with muddy water, with rubbish floating down. When we looked out of the window at the favelas, they became a cloud as the rain pelted down, it's quite dramatic. Last summer's weather in England was quite beautiful compared to the summer here at the moment.
