For like six months of the year, it's super dry and six months of the year, it's really hot. So from like March to No, I take that back from like November to April. It's super dry, never rains Christmas is super weird because it's you know, 90 degrees outside, but then from May until October It's just non-stop rain. The streets will flood Everywhere will be soaked and it's crazy. And they also have some amazing lightning storms during that That was one of my favorite things was to like look up at the sky and see the lightning. More often than not It was actually dry lightning So it would be in that time from like November to April that you'd be looking up at the sky and you would just see all These dry lightning storms that were happening all the time. It was super cool

It's 90, 100 degrees plus 100% humidity, so that's pretty crazy in itself. Doesn't get that much colder at night. Crazy weather was in one of my areas in Villanueva, and there was always lightning up in the sky. It was kind of weird, you would never hear the thunder, unless it was like a real lightning and rainstorm, but sometimes it was just, you look up at the sky and there's just lightning. And there's no rain, no nothing, no thunder, it's just lightning.

So in Honduras, especially in Tegucigalpa, which is kind of the mountains, every September through October is the rainy season. So it rains almost every afternoon. And I remember that I got to the country in towards the end of August, so it hit pretty quick. We would go out every day and it would be really hot in the morning and then in the afternoon it was just poor and poor. And we'd get soaked through to the skin and then it would get pretty chilly. So we'd go home, we'd take out my tiny blow dryer that I had brought from the States, and we'd blow dry our clothes a little bit to get them a bit dry. And then we'd go back out and we did that over and over. And the only problem was our shoes, they would never quite dry out. So for two months we just walked around in kind of soggy shoes. But it was awesome and it's kind of fun, crazy weather that's predictable, but unpredictable.

Being in a very tropical area, Honduras is very susceptible to be hit by hurricanes.

During the rainy season, the rain just started coming and you just all of a sudden heard all the metal roofs, you just heard the rain starting to hit, and you just hear the whole front come and approach you, and you had about 10 seconds to get inside before you were just dumped on. And not only was it just raining super heavy, the streets have very bad irrigation, so the water level on the whole streets was like six inches deep everywhere, and that was probably the craziest experience.
