Weather Seasons and my Choice.

Shout out readstars! A beautiful Sunday here and welcome to a new brand week. Wishing you love of the week as you read😘

Warm weather is good but I would and always prefer cold weather over it. It might have it's advantages but ooops! am going for the cold weather. The past week has seemed as hell fire was leaking, everywhere was warm at night. Imagine that experience. After a hot day by the sun, then evening which probably is an hour of rest and cooling off, then everywhere becomes warm again. Just imagine after having a stressful or warm day rather and you turn on the fans to throw you some cool air of relaxation and the fan ends up blowing warm air on your skin. This can never be cool even when we try to manage the situation.

This is dry season here and right now, there is not just only drought but dusty weather, warm/hot by the day and very cold and cool early in the morning. This time in the morning makes it difficult for people to get up from sleep because of the cold weather. It provides a nice sleeping environment for all and sleeping this time feels so good.

The dusty part of this drey season is worse on the areas without tarred road. It so unhealthy at these area. Every house roofs are accumulated by thick particles of dust. That is just the one accumulated, what about the ones inhaled by the population. I just thank God for the human system and adaptability for survival. It this time of the season that people always have nasal blockage due to inhaled dirty dust especially people living close to bad roads.. What a poor environment! The younger ones surfer the same fate, it for both the children and the adults. This dusty weather doesn't really care about areas with good or bad roads, the dust reached everywhere, just that it is worse on some undeveloped places.

Another effect of dry season and harmattan is de moisturized body. It keeps the skin dry and and looking whitish. One minute is enough to get dried while coming out from the shower without using towels on your body. No one dares coming out without using a cream, a better one because it could dry watery cream and leave you with a dried skin. The painful part of this dryness is the dryness of the lips and breaking of the lips due to harsh and dried wind. It so painful that some people can't laugh at their pace. It tears more and could bleed when you force out laughter or try peeling the dried skin. Season of harmattan has its so many advantages too. Unlike the rainy season where rainfall could stop you from going where you want, this season provides all the opportunity to go anywhere you want only of you have the time. During rainy season, people who host events and parties are always careful in choosing the day because it might count to their lost when the rain takes the entire day and expected guests are absent due to rain. It has been happening for countless times during rainy season. This dried season, there is absolutely no fear of organizing events and parties. No need to spend money on inviting rain makers and hoping on them to keep rain away on any occasion.

Also in this season, there are abundance of food too. This is the best weather for harvest of crops like yam, cassava and other crops. Marketers who have stored food in their warehouse brings them out for availability. Though all these food are present, they are sold at a high cost for some business reasons known to them. The rainy season provides abundance of fresh fruits, leaves and vegetables looking yummy and tasty. These products of rainy season are sold cheaper than that of dried season and I am yet to fully understand why. Maybe because it is the season of planting and fruits get ready for consumption within months and this makes a lot of them available and ready to eat. In dried seasons, there is always scarcity of fruits. Not all of them are available in the market. Few found are sold with high price . But thanks to nature, some of these fruits are always available in all season, just that the price and cost increases and decreases with time.

If I am to to choose the best season of the year, I will probably consider so many facts before getting to choose one. It really gonna be a nit difficult to decide for some persons but , I already made my choice long ago and it is the rainy season.

I will always choose and prefer rainy season because of the fact that the body cools off better than the dried season. sometimes during dey season, I hardly sleep at night because of heat, warm weather making me sweat profusely and restlessly at night. This is just so unfair to me because I feel so imbalance. The trees standing still without blowing wind makes mosquitoes have a nice environment to operate. I might be making my choice due to my environment and yes, that what am trying to live with. My environment during harmattan has More negative effect on me. I will always prefer rainy season because it good to me. No too much sun and breakouts from the skin due to suns heat and rashes. During harmattan, eyeglasses do not even solve the problem of dusty wind in my town. People wear nose masks while walking and riding vehicles. The rytheme of the air is dry dust, makes the skin look rough and tough as if people don't take care of their body anymore.

Rainy season is the best for me but because I can't possibly change nature, I have to adapt and that's the only way to embrace it. There are many adaptation skills we do t avoid loss and preserve some foodstuffs. Some include; using a thick lipgloss to avoid peeling of the rough lips by dry wind, digging and burying some perishable food stuffs like cocoyam and bagged beans. We sometimes smoke cereal crops by hanging them up high in our local kitchen and many more.

During rainy times, everywhere could be flooded and the walk ways blocked but still, it has its own advantage and disadvantages. The lively and lovely environment naturally created and the beautiful flowers that makes the best sight, all makes the beauty of rainy season. Eating fresh fruit and seeds are just the best and can't be compared. Healthier diet comes in the rainy season Moisturized body and cleaner environment and so many more. I chose rainy season because of my environment and surrounding. Dry season could be someone else's choice. It all depends on what we like and why we like them.
