Rain and nasty weather after six or seven awesome sunny days, that's what we do around here.

How much do you actually know about the rain? Have you ever taken a moment to learn about the wet stuff? I usually just make sure the car windows are up and I'm good.

At the bottom of this blog is info about today's forecast. But check this out first. According to RD here are Five Weird Facts About Rain:

 

  • The least rainy place on earth isn't in the desert - Antarctica
  • Rain doesn't always make the ground wet - Hot and dry locations the rain with evaporate before it even hits the ground.
  • Not all raindrops are made of water - Venus, and other planets rain is sulfuric acid or methane...ouch?
  • There's a scientifically proven way to get less wet in the rain - The faster you can get out of rain, the drier you will be. What?
  • The shape and color of clouds can help you predict rain - Tall, flat topped, puffy clouds = You're getting rain.

So there you go, roll up your windows and watch the clouds. Oh and run quickly or something.
