Mother Nature is speaking

I sure wish it would start raining here in the Bitterroot Valley. We've had the driest summer on record and the visibility, due to smoke from fires in Montana, Idaho and Washington, has, for about 3 weeks, been down to less than a mile. A good rainfall would go a long way to slow down the fires and clean the air.

It's now very chilly here NOB, (daytime highs only 18-20C) after weeks of mid-to-high 30's - feels more like mid-October. No appreciable rain for the past 4 months. Smoke from those Washington fires has abated the last couple of days.
As for Zihua, we've had rain in late October and into early November for the past few years, and it now seems to rain sometime during every month from November through April, when a decade ago it was bone-dry through that period. Wonder what this season's "El Nino Grande" has in store for the Zihua area?
