Hulhangu monsoon · nakaiy 21 of 27
Uthura.
29 August – 10 September. Soft, warm evenings after brief showers — the sand glows.
Occasional heavy rain; the wind backs toward the north. Maldivian fishermen and farmers have planned by Uthura for centuries; the almanac says the same thing every year, and it is right more often than the forecast.
For photographs: soft, warm evenings after brief showers — the sand glows. Hulhangu is quieter on the islands and the sunsets are the best of the year; if it rains, we wait twenty minutes.
