Early one morning a few weeks ago, Ashwin asked me why he was sweating even when he was standing still. I put my hand up and answered. Global warming. Thank you Al Gore, I said. Summer was always hot here, but now it's starting earlier. For the next 4 months the temperatures will be in the 35-40 degree C. range. If we are lucky we will have some rain in July and things will cool off a bit.
One thing everyone in South India looks forward to is that summer is mango season. Varieties like alphonso, banganpalli, malgova, neelam, rumani and Killemouku will flood the markets. Mangoes are just starting to come to market, so for now we have to be satisfied with watermelons (which are currently selling for 8rs/kg, or just about 7cents a pound).
The photos of mango tree is the view from our bedroom window.

My only disappointment in our trip to India was that it was not Mango season! The fruit on your tree looks much different than when we last saw it in Jan.
Enjoy and think of us when those mangoes ripen!!
Love,
