Still waiting for rain

I took these four pictures this afternoon after I had covered my small boat with a plastic tarp, which is the least expensive option. I'm afraid the rain will be dirty and brown this evening, as Saharan dust clouds carry sand on wind above the ground. 

It seems it will rain soon. According to the weather forecast, the weather this evening will be persistent. Unfortunately, rain and wind will continue to impact Central and South Italy in the next 12 hours.


... and, obviously, fisherman's boats will not sail in the next few days.


This Summer we (Italians) need rainy weather. That's why I hope weather forecast will not be wrong :-)
That's all for now!

Good morning Giorgio! I wish Italy the rain! In Poland the heat next time!
Giorgio I have bad news: tomorrow at the power plant in Zaporozhye there is to be a Russian provocation. The Russians are to fire at the power plant and accuse Ukraine of the attack. The information was given by Ukrainian intelligence....

Giorgio said...

To Anna:

sorry to hear that the Russians have planned those provocation ... I'm afraid and hope they will not hit the power plant.

Thank you for the info!

P.S.: the good news is that more ships carrying Ukrainian grain are leaving the Ukraine's Odessa port.

In Friuli è arrivata tanta pioggia e ha fatto disastri.Speriamo che non attacchino la centrale in Ucraina,sarebbe un disastro.Ciao

Per Olga:

Vero, Olga. Ho saputo dei danni causati dalla pioggia al Nord.
Qui al centro ancora niente. Le piante di olivo stanno soffrendo, soprattutto quelle con meno di un decennio di vita.

Con riferimento alla guerra, preferisco pensare che i Russi stiano solo provocando e che non colpiranno la centrale nucleare. I danni si estenderebbero anche in territorio russo e loro lo sanno.


To Olga:

That's true, Olga. I have heard about the damages related to the flood in North Italy.
Here in Central Italy we are still waiting for rain. Olive trees are suffering the drought, mainly the younger ones.

On the Ukraine/Russia war front, I think Russians have just made a provocation, and they will not hit the nuclear power plant. The disaster would spread through the Russian territory, and they understand this point.

I hope that you get the rain you are waiting for! It seems like we have had too much rain here with the flooding, and they think it will be another wet summer for us, which is not good. I hope it dries out soon and the rain comes over to you!

Hope you had a great weekend! We had a really fun one.

I hope you got that expected rain. It is dry here and then monsoons with flash flooding. Mother earth is not happy and she is showing it. Hope you and your family are well.

I hope that the rains will come to Italy soon.🌂☂🌨☔

Meanwhile, we're getting too much rain over here in our corner of the world.

Happy Thursday, Giorgio
