It's raining, It's pouring

It's raining, it's pouring;
The old man is snoring.
He went to bed and heBumped his head
And he couldn't get up in the morning.

I hope you are staying dry during this rainy season!! Yesterday started as a beautiful, hot, sunny day but unexpectedly turned into an eeri e (creepy) light show (thunderstorm) in the middle of the afternoon! What am I talking about; a light show? I am referring to the physical phenomena known as thunder and lightning! Lightning occurs when the temperature and pressure of the air change rapidly, resulting in electricity. Thunder is the sound made by lightning (electricity). It can be a sharp, loud crack or a long, low rumble depending on the distance of the listener.

Did you know that there are more than 16 million lightning storms in the world every year?!?

Rainy Season Vocabulary:

Soaked - covered with water
Drenched - soaked to the skin
Sopping wet - wet through and through
Dripping wet - soaked to the skin and dripping with water
Pouring - heavy rain
Raining cats and dogs - raining really hard
