Rooftop sitting

Isn't it interesting how it can rain pretty much every afternoon, always around the same time? During the rainy season, at least. You can see the rain clouds so clearly too. There's a pretty decent sky all around, then a big dark cloud show up, slowly rolls overhead and starts to rumble.

Soon, drops start to fall, slowly at first then faster. The wind picks up, the drum and horn band over by the plaza kicks in. More drops, the band supplemented by the deep thunder - unless it's the other way around.
Drops everywhere now - it's bad but it'll get worse.
Can barely hear the band now, the rain drowns it all out. Car alarms, set off by the thunder, the band, or the occasional fireworks. A stray clear bit of sky makes for a brief reprieve but it's chased away by a stronger darker cloud.

Finally, the umbrella just isn't doing a job it was never meant to do. I'm getting wet.
