It’s really pouring today. I underestimated (or rather unaware of) the capacity of this morning’s rain. Seasons indeed is now backwards. This kind of rain should only be witnessed during the Spring. Here I am very wet because I walked from the terminal to the cafe. I didn’t use the Subway because it’d be an extra hassle and I wouldn’t be able to write this entry. I’ll still be wet if I took the train. Since it’s cold, that means the water hitting me is also cold. I’m chilly right now, but who isn’t.
I have an umbrella for those who are curious. However, if a falling sheet of rain is blown by a powerful wind, the direction of rainfall is slanted down. Assuming the rain falls at 15° angle and the wind blows from NEWS (my route is a wind tunnel), with reference to a standing person, the result would be cone-shaped. Imagine a cone-shape rain fall with me in the middle of the cone and imagine the rain to be massively strong. The mushroom on top of the cone would be my umbrella, but the attack of the rain is below. Get the image now? If you do, then you’d know that I’m wet from my foot to my knees — soaking wet. I haven’t even factored in the flooded intersections I have to pass through.
With the climate change, rain boots is really trendy. How would I look like in a pair of rain boots while going to work? That would be a sight.
