Rainy season

I thought it was supposed to be rainy season now. Yet, even though every now and then a brief almost-tropical rain falls that makes the pond water level rise just a little and cools of the city for a short while, I seems to be sunnier than ever.
Now that we got a thermometer we have also found out that the temperature actually never falls below 30 degrees, and most probably hasnt since May.

Picking flowers in the garden in the rain.

A sunny day in West Lake. Looks fresh but is hot hot hot...
