The Rainy Season


The months of July-November mark the rainy season for Oaxaca. From what we understand, dry months follow. All the green brush, grass and flowers turn to brown. The soil dries out and becomes dusty. The sun beats down hardest in March and April. By the time May and June roll around, dust and heat fill the air. The reservoirs and wells are almost empty and Oaxacans are longing for their rainy season. Though we've seen many rainstorms since arriving, I think we are fortunate to live in Oaxaca during this beautiful season.
