The Weather...

It has rained every day that we have been here.  I'm not talking drizzly rain, but serious torrential type rain.  Sometimes it has lasted a short while, like a 20 minute downpour today.  Sometimes it has gone on for hours and hours.  It usually rains later in the afternoon.

The Jequininhonha River is very wide and seems to absorb the water well.  There are signs that the river is flowing significantly higher now than it was when we first arrived, but there is no concerns of flooding in the town.

The temperature has been in the low 90's during the days and upper 70's at night, with very high humidity due to the all or the rain.
