Raining in Vaizag

26.08.2010

There was heavy rain in Vaizag. When I woke up in the morning, it was raining cats and dogs. As I peeped out of my window in the guest house room at GITAM campus, the rain was pouring down on the green lawn outside. The rain abated later during the day. It brought a bit of blessed cooling from the otherwise sultry weather at Vaizag. It is surprising that though both the cities are on the east coast, Chennai becomes cooler in the evenings. The cool breeze sets in around 4:30 and the heat reduces. Whereas, here at Vaizag the evenings bring no such pleasant relief. The air is still and even a casual stroll in the evening makes one sweat due to the humidity. This oppresive weather condition and the intermittent rain were possibly reasons why I never made it to the Rushikonda beach during this visit.
