It looks like rain here today- I hope not too much, I have plans to visit a roftop patio for drinks later!
A little bit of rain with drinks in the summer heat might be refreshing! Or do you think it will rain heavily?
Yes, it might break this humidity- there have been a number of heatwaves lately thanks to the El Nino event in 2009-2010. 
Is there any link between El Nino and hurricane activity in the tropics?
There must be- don' tyou think hurricanes seem more frequent and more damaging now?
