First I watched the skies darken over the ocean. Then the hazy sign of rain out at sea, the water changing a dark grey in reflection of what was happening above.

As the rain got closer to land, the boundary between cloud, rain and ocean diminished until it completely disappeared into a grey wall. By then the encroachment onto land had started.

And now it is pouring with rain, above us, around us. We needed it, and the pressure in the air feels as though it has lessened as well.
