I totally agree with this philosophy. I have seen this occur between states in the US. When I lived in Florida, which does not have a harsh winter, there tended to be more homeless people, construction took longer and people basically took the weather for granted. Now that I live in Minnesota where our winters are very, very long, you hardly see homeless people on the streets, construction workers have a small window where they need to get things done, and people literally have 'spring fever' when they are able to get out of their houses and be outside.

These days the weather is always very hot. I was particularly bothered around September last year when I walked out in the heat to church. I find it more bearable these days. I walked out in the heat around 11:40 am with no problems.
The Rainy Season is officially here and the rainfall we experienced overnight was the the start of many waves of rainfall to come. It is a welcome break from the ridiculous heat we've been having BUT I am concerned about the flooding situation, I do not know if the infrastructure is in place to deal with the problem: Flooding In Trinidad & Tobago.
Yes, the first tropical wave is upon us which is characteristic of the rainy season. We also get the I.T.C.Z during this time. The latter decends into South America during the dry season and moves upwards at this time.
