If that rain comes down when it is 49C (120F) it instantly drops the temp to a manageable 28C (82F), then a person can actually work. I was up in Rundu once and burnt my hands blisters with some zinc plating which was used to build a dog shelter. When the rains came, it was much easier to work.

@Goldius - When you are born in a cold country, you get the habit.

When your weather is very dry the rains are appreciated. What crops do you have in your plantations?

Farmers wait for the rains. Am sure you would be busy with farming now. Here we are now waiting for the winters to set in,

We watched a film last night which was set in Malawi and the rain came down in torrents in the rainy season.

It's wonderful to hear that the rain has arrived in Namibia, signaling the start of plantations for farmers. Working in the rain indeed brings a unique joy, and the experience becomes even more special when shared with family. The collaborative effort in farming during these times can create lasting memories and a strong sense of unity. May the rain continue to nourish the land, and may your plantations thrive. Wishing you a successful and bountiful season!

Working in rainy season is something special and its creates a good working atmosphere for the farmers. But heavy rain creates lot of problems for the farmers.What is the main crop that you cultivate.?

@Goldius Winter here in Israel or in Jerusalem and other parts of the country is when we get the rain. It is not supposed to rain any other time of the year but last year it rained in May.

I love the rain especially when it cools down a hot afternoon. I dont know why some people have issues with rain.

Are you based in Kavango? Then I can imagine you are happy for the rain, for that heat to be broken a bit! You plant millet and tomatoes also? Hope you can enjoy the fruits of all the labour soon!
