Unexpected, un-seasonal (see below) but very welcome rains in Muscat as I am typing this. Playing with some C code tonight (gosh, it’s been a while since I last called malloc) and start hearing this weird noise. Open the window to see that the skies have opened up and it’s pouring down (I use that term loosely, i.e. by Muscat standards). It threatened to rain in the evening, and by that I mean the sky “spat” for some 10 minutes, but it was hardly anything to write home about (pun intended) and I missed all of it anyways as I was at work.
I really should be getting back to the code now, but before I go I have had time to check that rains aren’t that unexpected at this time of the year. However, looking at the numbers on that page, I guess we might have already exhausted our quota (of the rains) for this month.
