1700 hours on Tuesday, and it's really pouring in Goa. After a longish
monsoon break (following an early start to the rains), we're having
torrential rains once again.
In recent years, amidst talk of climate change (aka global warming), we
are seeing a lot of extremities in weather condition. When it rains, it
really rains heavily. When it doesn't, it's dry for days.
And, has anyone studied the earlier-believed (and apparently true)
corelation between phases of the moon and the weather? Farmers and
agriculturists in Goa generally calculate a good planting season by
looking at the 'omas' and 'punov' (full and new moon) on the local
almanacs. FN
