Drizzling Rain

I thought it would rain heavily, but it turned out to be just a brief drizzle.

The moon was still shining brightly like yesterday, with not a single cloud obscuring its light. The weather was still clear, the air was a little hot, and the clouds were moving quickly, blown by the wind. I went back into the house after watching the moon for a while.

Suddenly, a light drizzle began to fall. I thought it would pour heavily, but it turned out to be just a brief drizzle, like water being thrown rather than rain. The drizzle stopped and then started again, but only for a moment. After that, no more rain fell.

A few days earlier, there had been no rain at all, and the air was extremely hot.

After reading a little news from the BMKG, it turns out that we are currently entering a transition period from the dry season to the rainy season. When I was little, every morning before leaving for school, I always watched the weather forecast on TV. I don’t know why, but I was always enthusiastic about watching the weather forecast while eating breakfast. The images of clouds, the sun, and lightning were always interesting. It felt like I could experience the weather throughout Indonesia.
