"very very hot"

February

"hot and humid around 30 degrees, in 14 days we only had 1 day of rain, and a shower 3 or 4 times this was usually late afternoon or evening. on one evening we did not leave the hotel as the rain was coming down so hard it would bounce back about 6 feet into the air so it would have been a little painful not to mention being soaked !! most days it was clear and sunny."
