Every Wednesday we go to the beach with teenagers in the evening and every Wednesday afternoon there is a significant thunderstorm and rain!! The first week it cleared up and was an absolutely incredible evening for the beach. We had lots of people and even a crew of Garry's showed up from the village:
Our second week we had the same thunderstormy afternoon but we headed out anyways after the rain stopped. It was beautiful despite the moody skies.
We lasted about an hour and a half and watched the next storm come in and then were forced to wrap it up due to more rain.
This last week there was a really wild thunderstorm and at 2:30 in the afternoon it was as black as night outside. We held out hope that it would clear up like the previous weeks but alas, it did not. We pushed beach time back by an hour but after that hour passed we changed our meeting location to a cafe nearby where you can play games and hang out. It rained for the better part of the evening so it was a total wash.
It's been quite the rainy July! Last year we had one thunder....not even thunderstorm, but just one lone thunder the entire summer and this year it seems that no day goes by without a shower and a storm! I love storms but the humidity is through the roof and it's making us worry about the plans we make to hang out with teenagers! So far nothing has been completely ruined but we always think twice and check the forecast before planning things!
