Merida has hot and humid conditions almost all year long. However the official rainy season is June through October. The rain is usually in the afternoon as it can build to a storm all day long, but it's usually over after a brief but heavy rain. The street can look very much like the photo I took above as there are not many storm drains in Merida's infrastructure. The water does absorb into the ground quickly because of the limestone and underground rivers.
I love sitting on my terrace and watching the approaching storms. There is not always thunder and lightening...but sometimes it does and it can also get very windy. I like the gentle storms the best! Today about 4 in the afternoon, one of the gentle storms rolled in.
The storm cooled down the temperatures by about 10 degrees. Making it into a just lovely evening!
One of my favorite memories of Merida was sitting on the terrace and watching the lightening before a storm rolled in. The summer rains in Merida can put on a dramatic show.
