Walking in Light Persistent Rain

Reading Time: < 1 minute
Yesterday I walked in light persistent rain for around two hours and my trousers got a little wet. The rain was heavy enough for me not to be dry, but not heavy enough to soak me. During the walk I noticed, at one point, that the rain seemed to be aerosolised, floating upwards and sideways rather than straight down.

The wind was picking up so I suspect that it's the wind that changed the properties and behaviour of the rain.

Yesterday it rained for the entire day, so walking could not be done without being in the rain. I noticed that one person had a towel on his bike seat. Other people were wearing full rain suits, trousers, and a top, to avoid from getting drenched.

Near La Combe I saw that a person hole cover was lifted, and a pump was draining it of water build up, right into the street where people were walking.

This rain fell for 20-30 hours. Apparently some children, in the Jura were sad, because their snowmen were melted by the rain. Meanwhile I have seen multiple photos of deep snow in Avoriaz, Les Arcs and other Alpine ski resorts. For them the base layer has been falling and they can get ready for the ski season.

Today I will be walking in the sun, when I go for my daily walk.
