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?
It's hard to say... the media coverage has gotten more severe at least.
Yes, they seem to really sensationalize the storms now.
