According to a weather expert who asked to remain anonymous, the atmosphere needs to reconstitute itself to return to its initial rainy season state, as we are coming from a warm state where the humidity was very low at 36%, while for the rainy season, it must reach >80% humidity for the formation of a substantial mass of water in the cloud. There is also the available potential energy which must be more than 1,500 joules/kg for an air particle to properly perform its vertical ascent for the formation of cumuliform clouds.

"Our houses are made of reinforced concrete, which stores heat during the day and releases it at night. Cooling them can only take place around the middle of the night when the sea breeze blows at 3 a.m. or if there is heavy rain.

Nevertheless, we are approaching the normal restoration of meteorological parameters for the rainy season, where we will have maximum temperatures of 32/33 °C, humidity of 85 to 100%, and atmospheric pressure of 1004-1007 hPa," he added.

It should be noted that in the lower layer of the Earth's atmosphere (troposphere), there are gases that heat the air such as CO, CO2, PM, etc. These are the factors of climate warming, originated from human activities in the pollution of factory smoke, fumes emitted by vehicles, motorcycles, bushfires, and volcanic ashes.
