Habari ya hali ya hewa?

I was told that August would have a lot of sun and be very hot. Believe me, I was doubting everyone especially around the end of July when I had to go get another jacket because the overcast weather was such a downer. However, as is usually the case, the locals know the weather better than any meteorologist. For the past 4 days it has been blue skies and breezy. This is good for my mood and good for my research, as the elephants have been rather predictably coming for a dip in the waterhole at the heat of the day. So everyone is happy. I am just trying to forget what I was told about September when "the real cold" begins when the short rainy season settles in.
