Last night (Sunday, July 20) we had a brief but intense rain storm blow through in the early evening. There was lots of rain but not much wind or lightning so it was a perfect time for the kids to get out on the deck with their umbrellas. As the storm passed over we had a view of a really nice rainbow over the house. ((Towards the end it actually formed a double rainbow which I’ve seen only one other time. If you look in the upper right corner of the rainbow picture you can see part of the second ring.))
As a counterpoint I thought I’d include a screengrab of what the weather was like in Dhahran as I’m writing this post. A dust storm with temps of 117 and a dewpoint of 72. It doesn’t get much worse than that.
