Beneath Levante blows, above the poniente moves in from the west.
Roaring upcurrents and tormented wind shear combine with an alchemical brew of hot and cold air.
The scene is set for a great storm and the end of the long drought is in sight.
All around the earth pleads with the mighty Thunderbird who is arising from his slumber.
Soon the airs will shift to cardinal west and the virga will be released to the shrivelled ground.
It is time.
