Hello from India, where we get monsoon showers which in the western ghats are heavy and continuous. Personally I love rain! I wouldn't mind walking in the monsoon showers drenched to the bone! We do get thunderstorms in summer. For me, lightning is an opportunity to capture a nice video/photo :D

This is a place I trek to often: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agumbe The average rainfall for month of july is 104 inches! or 2600mm :D

@RoryAlsop youtube.com/watch?v=cR9wi0gWTGg !!

Hope everyone is ok this morning :)

@Aravona that's very cool. But mildly terrifying with that visibility - confirms I could never cave dive :-o

and Monrning!

@RoryAlsop That was very dark under the new pier, the next video to go up is under the old pier, and as it's not covered on top it's really light :) that was OK visibility.

how are you anyway?! :)

@Aravona not bad thanks. Busy. Crazy busy, but looking forward to a couple of weeks off

@Aravona Whoa! That looks scary :D

Hiya @RoryAlsop!

@Ricketyship morning!

Afternoon! :)

Are you visiting India?

@Ricketyship not yet. Looks like I need to visit Mexico and Canada first

Oops!

@RoryAlsop envious, I could do with a month off haha... Got a week in August and a week in October

+1 for Mexico - would love to go there!

And here I can't wait for my two months off!

@Ricketyship two months? Damn, I get 30 days for the whole year :(

well weekends too but for actual paid holiday

@Aravona I get 30 if I include public holidays

I'm taking a sabbatical

so it's not a paid holiday :D

@RoryAlsop yeah that's the same as me, max 32 after another 2 years.

@Ricketyship Ohh wow, I couldn't take that long off without pay, too many bills :( What are you doing to be doing?!

Hikes in the Himalayas. And backpack.

If possible a few climbs.

@Ricketyship wow amazing! :)

:) a long awaited one this is :)

I bet!!

Let's reopen this one outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/19895/…

yep - that edit really helped. I had no idea what the original question meant

^ This is why I really don't like some of the attitude behind a lot of the closings around here, it doesn't seem to be so much about making a better question but forcing the OP to do something
