I'm in Manaus (Brazil) and the Apple weather app is warning that there will be severe drizzle. Concerning*.*

Update: the drizzle was severe. Or as it might be called in non-auto translated parlance: rain.

Technically correct I guess. At least you knew what to expect and weren't disappointed

Indeed! Several things got wet, but many others stayed dry. The locals seemed unimpressed.

Well, Manaus is always very humid so... makes sense why locals were unimpressed ๐Ÿ™‚ Once I was at Belรฉm and unfortunately, as soon as I left the shopping I was surprised by the rain. It was very strong too and I got completely soaked; but because Belรฉm is so hot, the next day everything was dry again, so... at least it was refreshing I guess? ๐Ÿ˜„

Yeah, SP has harder rains IMO, or we were just lucky.

My experience with SP (I'm native from there ๐Ÿ˜„) it's more like heavy thunderstorms, and no structure for heavy rain or wind - as soon as it starts to get a bit stronger, chaos ensures. Actually... at SP, chaos ensures at anything, and every day of my life I am glad that I don't live there anymore hahahha
