This time of the year, the skies are sandy coloured and the weather is incredibly hot and dry. So when I wake to a blue sky with scattered clouds I wonder if this is the promise of rain?

The Arabic words for sky is semaa
Beautiful sky picture, Jo.... Did you get some rain? We had a hot and humid day here.

That looks like a promising rain sky. Very subtle.
ReplyDeleteI think it will rain on your place but just a slight rainfall. We've been observing the same sky here.
ReplyDeleteHope you got some rain, Jo, it does look hot! Lovely sky does look promising! Have a great weekend!

Could be. Looks like Khartoum and Al Ain are sharing same skies.
ReplyDeleteEnjoying your arabic word of the day and comparing it to Emarati Arabic.
Have a great weekend dear.
Your semaa is quite nice without the brown out. Hope you got some rain.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to visit skies from all over the world! You're wishing for rain and we're heading into a long dry spell now too. No rain most likely until October or November for us here in NorCal. Enjoy the day...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky picture. It looks like icy water on the sky! I'm also waiting for rain here. It's been very hot for many months in this side of the world.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you got some Jo as I sure you need it. Time for some here too.
ReplyDeleteWonderful capture, Jo! It does look promising. Happy skywatching!
ReplyDeleteNo promises. But, I think you are about at our latitude and we're dripping in rain. So, maybe.....
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Not enough of Africa on the blogosphere. You fulfill a very important need. LOVE your blog!

Just writing the word "promise of rain" changed the mood in that photo. Instead of feeling gray [as it was], I can sense hope...Have a great weekend and God bless you.
ReplyDeleteSeems we all are sharing the same kind of weather. It is so hot and dry here. Rain needed so badly. I enjoyed your sky show for today.
ReplyDeleteSo, it's hot even now? Do you have a cooler time of year? I hope the rains have arrived by now.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky photo, Jo, and the clouds do look like they're thinking about rain. Hope you got a little.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful and refreshing sky pic, Jo. Hope it rained a bit for you!
ReplyDeleteHope that it is a promise of rain!! The scene was similar here too, some time back! And now it's been raining since past 2 days... The weather is really pleasant..
