Mamoudzou By Night

Mamoudzou By Night
I was sent on an espionage mission the other day. A friend of mine suspected his wife of cheating on him, and had asked me to go to a Senegalese party which she was planning to attend in order to check if the new boyfriend was there. When I got there,...

Lille

Lille
Two British Rail trains, four Underground trains and two Eurostar trains. I don't mind travelling, really. I'm not keen on all the waiting around that has to be done in airports and train stations, and I'd rather not have to justify my identity and defend...

Rain at School

Rain at School
It's been raining quite a bit recently. This is the effect of all this rain on my school: quite impressive, actually. Everything and everyone gets soaked five minutes in, the kids go swimming in the puddles, bags and books included, and you can't hear...

Raindrops aren't falling. Period.

Raindrops aren't falling. Period.
The only existing postcard of Mayotte during the rainy season. The rainy season has just started. Just. As in two days ago. This is worrying the meteorologists. You see, Mayotte usually gets two lots of rain. A small spell, which usually comes some time...

The Malagasy Highway Code

The Malagasy Highway Code
The Malagasy Highway Code for Motorbikers When you see a lorry coming your way, take a big breath and hold it. It's going to stink. A full helmet is great for safety if you fall and hit your head, but it does mean you can't scratch your ears. Even after...

The weather was pretty grotty this weekend, so I haven't been out much. In fact, Mayotte was placed under "strong rain warning" on Thursday evening, because a depression was forming in the Mozambique channel, along the coast of Mozambique. On Saturday...

The rain in Mamoudzou falls down, soaks the road and makes big potholes.

The rain in Mamoudzou falls down, soaks the road and makes big potholes.
We're slowly getting towards the end of the rainy season. It's been raining pretty much every day, but not all day though, just an hour or two at a time. The rain has - as usual - dug gaping holes in the roads, it's a right mess. Some of the roads I take...

Going Swimming At School

The rainy season in in full flow now. This is a short video taken by one of my colleagues at school, a day when 9.2mm of rain fell in two hours accompanied by a pounding thunderstorm that made the headmistress decide to cut off the school's electricity...

It's raining.

It's raining.
Tropical rain isn't anything like European rain. It's not cold, for a start, there's none of that freezing drizzle that bites into your skin and makes you huddle inside your anorak. You can go out in the rain here and actually stay under it for as long...

What's the weather like?

What's the weather like?
The rainy season is over now, and the wind is just starting up. It's still hot though, and will remain so until next November, at which point it will get slightly hotter. It's slightly more breathable now, however. These screenshots are from my Windows...
