Rainy season

It's the rainy season at the moment - which means that it's usually sunny in the mornings and then buckets it down in the afternoons. Apparently this year Guatemala has had more rain up til now (June) - than it usually has up until September!

There have been several communities that have been badly affected by flash floods, and 80 people are missing after part of the city rubbish dump collapsed due to the rain, burying those who lived and worked on the dump - sorting through the rubbish to survive. Life can definitely be very precarious here.
