Wednesday Walk, The Dry Season Is Fast Approaching
Hi guys,
This is an entry to the Wednesday walk challenge. A challenge I’ve looked at for a while and today I’ve decided to field in an entry.

The dry season is coming up thick and fast and I think we are still quite fortunate to see the trees green. I think this year the dryness is actually slowing down. In previous years breathing becomes difficult at times and you don’t even want to go out of your room.

Today I decided to take a walk. It so happens that since the hike in fuel prices there are not a lot of movements on the road. I decided to take this road because they are not that busy.

There is a college and a senior highly school on that road. The headmaster of the senior high school decided that they build a wall to break the connection with the main roads. I think it was a great idea. It has stopped the movements of people though the school especially during school hours.

When school vacates, they open the gates but people hardly use them anymore.

This time round it happens that the students are in class so I am at liberty to pass by the school. The college on the other hand is free to enter at any time as there are adults who are attending that school. I hardly saw the students. It seems they were on a break but only a few of them came outside the school.
Even though the trees seem not to feel the impact of the fast-approaching harmattan, it seems the grasses are feeling it. As you can see in the pictures, they are drying up pretty fast.

I took the walk in the morning but there was no fog which us why I say the harmattan hasn't arrived fully yet. It's only in the Northern part of Ghana that we are affected so much by the dry season. In the south they experience it for like two or three days and their weather goes but to normal but here we have to deal with it till the year ending.
Thank you for reading.

Reason why for the past years, I always run away from this harmattan 😂😂.
I was speaking to my mom earlier and she mentioned it. I totally forgot there’s something like that😂.
And it’s going to be worse in school 😏
😂😂You’ve left us here to take it all alone. Anyways I hardly get the impact as I am always indoors.
It seems Navrongos Harmattan happens to leave late. I had imagined it to leave by January but Navrongo is always different.
Everything is always extreme there
I don’t think people that are not from around here will have any clue what you mean when you say breathing becomes difficult. But it literally means the fog snd dry air makes it difficult to breath because your throat dries up very fast. Long before covid came, some people were already using nose masks during the dry season just because of how serious it was.
The only thing I like about harmattan is the fact that it naturally controls weed growth. You can always count on harmattan clearing thick bushes around when it comes.
😂😂yep I think I should have explained it. Most people are not from these parts so it’s kinda hard to get it.
Anyways am glad you did. People have started using nose masks already. The other day I was going to town with the motor bike and I regretted not using a nose mask.
The harmattan does it’s work brilliantly though just that for this part it’s sometimes very difficult for he grasses to grow back up.
Do you know some people even go as far as wearing the nose masks to sleep out of fear of dried throats?😅
😂😂Wow, never heard of this one. All I know is Harmattan and Catarrh is more than a death sentence😂.
Lol you just found out. @gunu1 is one of such people.😂😂😂😂
If he finds this post, it wasn’t me who said it.😂😂
😂😂Oh wow. Since you are saying I shouldn’t say it’s you then who do I put the blame on whenever I want to tease him😂?
Errrrm…
I definitely will get back to you
