rain

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

It's the mango rain, happens almost every year (last year maybe not). 100% happened 3 years ago yesterday, my facebook memory thing told me.
Mango showers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mango showers, or ‘mango rains’, is a colloquial term to describe the occurrence of pre-monsoon rainfall. Sometimes these rains are referred to generically as ‘April rains’ or ‘Summer showers’. They are notable across much of South and Southeast Asia, including India,[1] and Cambodia.[2]
These rains normally occur from March to April, although their arrival is often difficult to predict. Their intensity can range from light showers to heavy and persistent thunderstorms. In India, the mango showers occurs as the result of thunderstorm development over the Bay of Bengal.They are also known as 'Kalbaishakhi' in Bengal, the calamity of Baishakhi (March the April)
Towards the close of the summer season,pre-monsoon showers are common especially,in Kerala, Karnataka and parts of Tamil Nadu in India.They help in the early ripening of mangoes,and often referred to as 'mango showers'. Mango showers occurs due to *Himalayas*
700% usual, hopefully shows we'll have a more regular season this time.... hopefully.

I thought about that but for some reason thought they started early April.

It's bloody muggy tonight, hope for another downpour just the clear the air.
