On Dec 19 we left Lilongwe for Cape Town and the holidays. The heat and sun were oppressive prior to that. On the 19th it rained so much that that it delayed our flight and we missed connections. That was the first rain since April. It seems as if it is all or nothing as far as weather goes here.

Since getting back on the 4th, the daily temps have cooled 20 degrees and it now rains each day. Supposedly this will continue until April. This week the rains have been particularly intense with a tropical storm off Mozambique pushing heavier rains our way. We are fine in Lilongwe-- just having to deal with some 12 hour power outages this week. Down south, things are particularly bad. Here is a link to the Guardian about the disaster areas and flooding going on down there. Hopefully we can get some relief soon for the folks down there.
