As we move along through the month of September, we should be ever so grateful for the change in our climate. Yes, it’s still hot but not as hot as it was without the “Rain”. “Rain” universally cools the Earth’s surface. Also, “Rain” is nature's way of providing us with the fresh water that we need to survive. Taking into consideration that more than 75% of Earth’s water is salt water and cannot be consumed by humans, it should deepen our appreciation for “Rain”.
