And yet another momentous event happened in Salalah last week. It rained in January. Three nights ago, the sky opened up and finally succumbed to the marinating heaviness that had been hiding and lurking around all day. It even rained out in Rub Al Khali, which only happens every twenty years or so unless oneiric, and never in January…As much as the plants and I enjoyed the out-of-turn-moisture, it begs the question: Global Warming in action?
