It has been raining all day in East Yorkshire and with the rain comes the inevitable grumbles and complaints but put these into a world perspective;
It actually has rained today. In Somalia and Ethiopia it has not rained for months.
The roads are so waterlogged. In Zimbabwe the rain washes away the roads beyond salvage
The water is really dirty and muddy. In Bangladesh this applies to drinking water.
The flowerbeds are awash. Chanelling rainwater provides essential irrigation to the rice fields in Vietnam
The water will take an age to drain away. The ground water will replenish the boreholes and wells in Chad.
I got soaked running between the car and my house. A walk to find clean water can take 5 hours in remote parts of Kenya, come rain or shine
The barbecue is cancelled due to rain. The wildfires and bushfires are assuaged in Borneo.
What a shower we are....
