Umbrellas from different walks.
November 2021 had come to an end. The entire month has been raining for us despite the rainy season, and this is a repeat factor of 2015, and Chennai needs just 5 mm of rain to defeat the same. And to beat a 100 years of record, we need another 39 mm in less than a day.
Typically, the northeast monsoon begins in mid of October lasts up to mid-December, but this year it was raining on and off from late July - at the beginning of November, we have achieved our share of rain already. We have overdone our season by 80% of additional rain, and yet we haven't completed it, and the meteorology has forecast a couple more depressions in the sea.
Heavy rains over the last two days have caused floods in Chennai and its suburbs. The 3rd week of November saw a terrific rainfall over the north Tamil Nadu and southern Andhra, which had flooded all the rivers and riverbank towns. And before we all come out of the disaster, the easterlies (or trade wind) took hold of the situation; still, many parts of the region have no power. It's 3rd or 4th time our street flooded; gladly, it didn't take days to recede.

...too much rain isn't good, but no rain is awful!

Time for colorful umbrellas to come out. Looks like there is no respite from rain for Chennai for few more days Jeevan
I love the rains but not the floods as people get displaced. We are having the rainy season now and it will go on till Jan next year. Time for you to stay in and read some good books or BLOG more. Umbrellas do make beautiful props.
You got some beautiful, colorful umbrellas even on dreary, rainy days.
We are also having lots of rain here. It has caused flooding in low lying areas, landslides and also sink holes. We are thankful that we do get some sun in the morning before it rains in the afternoon or late evening. You get to enjoy all the colourful umbrellas passing by below you. We are spending most of our days indoors.
It is rainy season in Kuala Lumpur too...but not until serious flood. Low areas will have flash flood. As i m still WFH it does not affect me coz i don't have to commute to office.
