Raining in the wet season

This has been a dry wet season for Cairns, the driest in ten years. As members of the State Emergency Service (SES), which provides assistance with flooding and natural disasters, it has been good. We have not had to do any sandbagging this wet season.
Yesterday the weather reports indicate we would get up to 400 mils of rain this week. That is a lot of run. Finally the wet season is kicking in. Two months ago, my husband had to spend $150 replenishing pool chemicals after a heavy rain. He did not want the chemicals to wash out again this week, so today he purchased two tarps at Bunnings Hardware. Frank is covering the pool now.
The weather forecast today has reduced the predicted rain by half. Even so, the tarps are a good investment.
Our pool is an infinity edge pool, so water runs over the northeast side into a balance tank. The view of the Coral Sea and Double Island is on the northeast. By having an infinity edge pool, one can look up from the blue pool water and see the blue sea water. It is beautiful. We are very happy with our swimming pool and view.
