Rain Day
I don’t like rain very much; I don’t hate it either. But I didn’t know that Rain Day has a history of over 200 years.
Legend has it that a pharmacist named William Allison in Pennsylvania noticed it would rain on July 29 every year.
Since then, he started to record the rainfall on this date, and the rain had never had a “no-show” on July 29 for many years.

Rain means a lot this year for most parts of the world struggling with the unprecedented heatwave.
Is it raining now where you are?
