how often does it rain there? I seem to have joined the feed just as a shower started

The rainy season is during the summer (Northern Hemisphere's winter). Outside of those months it doesn't rain very often! I've spent two winters (June-August) in Namibia and can't recall much, if any rain. But now that we're approaching summer there, I imagine there's a little more rain. The Namib desert (which is a small percentage of Namibia, to be clear) is one of, if not the, driest deserts in the world.

It made me think of The Who - Love, Reign O’er Me.

  Only love can bring the rain
  That makes you yearn to the sky
  Only love can bring the rain
  That falls like tears from on high

Same. What are the odds?
