My Fickle Sky

The weather in my city has always been fickle. As uncertain as a child in a sweet shop with an unlimited budget.
Normally, there are just two seasons.
The Wet and Dry seasons...

Nowadays, we've been accustomed to about twelve different seasons.
The Sunny Wet, Sunny Dry, Sunny Cool, Sunny Hot, Wet Hot, Wet Cold, and so on...
Sometimes it may just be cloudy all through, leaving you the uncertain person guessing which if the twelve would happen today and how you can plan your day in expectation of the weather.

I've been a victim of misreading the weather numerous times.
Although it's not my fault, for the day could start sunny, a perfect day for the beach and then you'd have a grim thunderstorm by sharp twelve in the afternoon.

Other days could look so windy and cloudy in the morning, perhaps even a little rain, then all clears up later in the day and you're dressed up for winter in the middle of July 😂
The sun during these days are hot and magnificent, creating lovely sceneries for pictures..

We're in the middle of the rainy season, approaching the August break when we're meant to have a week free from rain.
After being doused and drenched multiple times, I need that free week, yet I wonder if my sky would obey the natural laws this year.

The rain has been if anything consistent this season.
It's a good and bad thing, out of seven days a week, six and a half days are rainy days, with only about twelve hours of sun left in between.
The plants and greens appreciate this never ending bath...

...and they show it with their vibrant colors and rich scents.

Yet I'm quickly annoyed by the weather forecast whenever I wake up.
Today rain, tomorrow rain, yesterday rain, guess what?
Next week is rain too...

My clothes suffer the most from this as washing is a pain and relying on the cold damp wind to dry is a bigger pain😂

Although the rain does bring it's benefits too...
As the heat of the sun is greatly reduced and nights are perfectly comfortable without the use of fans or any conditioning.
As Nigeria is a tropical climate, the seasons are a hundred percent in both ways... So a bit of cool is better than roasting in heat.

Today, the sky remained as fickle as ever though, like a lady trying on clothes for a date, trying to pick which outfit fitted her the most.
The weather which was clear in the morning, looked like rain in the afternoon and had a beautiful sunset in the evening.
The previous picture was from this afternoon, the first picture was this evening...

... And this was in the morning.
As we can all see, despite how fickle she is, the sky is beautiful in whatever outfit she wears...✨
