Yağmur: Rain

Lately, we have enjoyed some rainy days. According to my Turkish teacher, Istanbul used to have one rainy day for every 10 sunny days. In the last two years, however, it has rained once every two months or so. The newspapers frequently have stories about drought conditions, disappearing reservoirs, and failing crops. So, people have been pretty happy about the rain despite the inconvenience of walking through rivers of trash. For your viewing pleasure, here are some rainy day scenes:



At least yesterday's rain cleared the air of humidity. The other times it just made the rest of the sunny day even more humid!
