I'm melting...

I am so hot it is not even funny. I am seriously over and done with this summer. Why suddenly so very hot? Well for starters the AC in our office is barely working and our office repair guy didn't seem to understand the gravity of the situation. I had to yell and I hate doing that. I am a fairly flexible person when it comes to being warm but I refuse to sit at my desk and sweat.
Plus the monsoon has disappeared which means no rain which means no daily cool down. Not that it cools it down much but it does help.
And what do I mean about the monsoon disappearing? Well I thought it was less strong than last year but figured that was just how it began. Then a few days ago it just kind of stopped. Turns out that it is 45% below normal amounts and that is a really big problem. Not only because selfish me is hot, but also because the monsoon is necessary for agriculture; not just big time agriculture, but also people that grown their own food.
I hope it comes because this country needs the rain. If it doesn't pick up it could have serious affects on crop output which would increase food prices which will make life even harder for people that don't have very much to begin with. All in all not good. Global warming rears its ugly head again.
