And then it rained

The shift ended at midnight and I went back to the tent and snuggled down in my sleeping bag. I awoke at around 04.30 to a static buzz it took me a couple of minutes, in my sleepy state, to realise that it was the rain hitting the tent. I let the white noise lull be back to sleep.

The sun comes up around 06.30, by 7.30 it is fully on the tent. The effect of this is that the wet canvas starts to steam and those inside find that they and getting a free sauna.

It's now been raining on and off for a couple of days. It rains hard for about 15 to 30 minutes and then stops. You can tell when the rain is coming the temperature drops and the wind picks up, 3 minutes later it's raining.
