Summer Cloudburst
Usually quiet, you pour down hard when it counts — and then it clears right up.
A summer cloudburst is a sudden, heavy rain that breaks out on a summer afternoon or early evening — in Japanese, yudachi, “evening rain.” It usually stops after a short while, and once it has passed, the heat eases. You may not say much day to day, but at the moments that count, you let your feelings out strongly.
Your feelings shift direction easily, and you switch gears just as quickly. Once you've said what you had to say, you don't dwell on it. You may move with a force that surprises everyone, then act as if nothing happened the next day.
A cloudburst can soak one street and leave the next one dry. In the same way, the people closest to you feel your force the most. A quick word before the downpour gives them time to grab an umbrella.
