well well Dominica getting too much rain when we well want the rain on St.Thomas. the place hot like pepper.
Dominica really gets a lot of rain. It is the hurricane season.
but nothing new. D/ca is mountainous with forest and rivers which is why it rains a lot.
The area I reside in Toronto, many times the weather forecast calls for rain and it never fell. Other areas which they call cottage country had a lot of rain; in fact a storm. They lost power for sometime.
Today, Thursday, although warm but cloudy. The weather forecast for Friday afternoon is rain until Saturday morning and no doubt lightning and thunder. Tonight, I have not yet listened to the weather forecast. I do know when it rains it will pour. God help us.
D/ca appears to be a rain country,
God help Dominica to avoid major storms.
Today, Friday evening, no rain yet in Toronto. I think the weather forecaster should be fired. Not doing a good job.
He/she is wrong too many times. Nevertheless, I am happy. We were able to go about our business unhindered by rain. Thank God.
We are enjoying the weather. Imagine the BBQ’s and outdoor parties. If it rains it spoils everything. 
.
Rain is still forecast for Sunday. We will see. One thing, it will come sometime. It is extremely hot and humid today. Not wearing winter clothing and boots is a treat.
Cheer up Dominicans. Let us keep praying for good weather anyway
Yes…plenty rain in Roseau
Amen and amen.
Thanks for this vital info. Fellow citizens PLEASE take heed.
HOTEP!
