I'm sure you could use 3 or 3 days of heavy downpour. The soil needs it badly, the forest even more, the air, the trees, the flowers, the lawns ... it washes the dust away ... and allows you to do stuff inside the house like cooking, cleaning, shopping ... whatever you can't do due to too much heat and dryness ... so enjoy the sound of the rain falling on your windows ... and then, it,ll stop, the air will smell fresh, everything will be gree, the birds will come out... and you'll be happy :)))
