All that falls
It rained since yesterday night and then sun came out for couple of hours in late afternoon. But it didn't last as the clouds came back darker and thicker and then hail started falling from the sky. Pieces of ice bounced from balcony into my room and the knocking of hail on the wood was accompanied by car alarms. Then it turned into a rain the you could hardly see the world through. We had several cycles of less and more intense rain since then.
Night is already noticeably colder than it was for at least two weeks and the forecast says it will be even colder with more spring like temperatures coming this week (even 4C at night). Still today's weather made me feel it's summer already even more. This is how summer is in Poland - heat wave ending in intense storm with sudden temperature change after. And flash floods. Hail sometimes too.
The thing that reminds me it's still spring are the small, bright green leaves and pollen. The one that makes it hard to breathe and that yellow thing in the photo. That's pine pollen - about a day/day and half worth. Yesterday, before the rain, I was causing dust storm walking through grass because there is so much of it. Pine forrests back home are bad enough but here it's even worse. It sticks to everything - cars, roads, windows so no spring cleaning for now. Good thing about it is that, since it's so big and sticky, it doesn't cause allergies. The thing that makes me sick now is most likely oak - I look at it's catkins with hatred.
