Rainy Season Early in MDE yet again

I have been holding off not to jinx us again but I just can't do it any more. The rainy season in the fall started 2/3 weeks early and ended 2/3 weeks later. We have been getting rain steady for the past 10 days and I thought it was just one of theose things - but after day 6, 7, 8, 9 and now today I am convinced were are getting our late March through April rainy season starting beginning March. Only one day in the past 10 did we not have rain.

El Niño? Global warming? Revenge from las FARC? I'm going to Google the blue prints for the Ark and post them later.

For as awesome as it was earlier today, 10AM to 4PM, it was a bit chilly until noon despite all the sun.

am I the only one that thinks medellin is hot? I'm loving this "chilly" weather. I still think it's short sleeve weather.

Catfish you are right - we need to bring the evil doers to justice. So far Al Qaida, Mother Nature and El Niño are on the list. Who else has weapons of mass weather destruction?

I have lived in Medellin since late 2002, 2007 to now, has beem pretty crapy weather compared with my first four years.

I know last year was put down El Niño, hopefully this year is just the rainy season here early and will leave early.

Yesterday was nice - but we still got a little rain. Today seems to be real promising. at 8:00 only a bit of haze to the east on the mountains. Should burn off soon. It should be a hotter than usual one. Out!
