by Red Wolf"So, this is the wet." Rose pulled her hood closer around her face and lowered her head as she slogged through the downpour at the Doctor's side, blowing raindrops off the end of her nose with a loud puff. "Tell me there's a dry."
Hands in pockets, the Doctor ignored the rain. "When it comes, it'll be so hot that the jungle will die back completely, lying dormant until the next wet season."
"So all this is a season's growth?" Rose looked up at the trees towering over them. "I guess you really can watch the grass grow around here."

::fights off sudden urge to take that concept of really drastic seasons and build a world and several cultures around it::
Um, that is to say, very cool idea, liked it a lot! — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 06.10.2007 09:11 AEST |

Admittedly, it's a little more drastic than we get here, but as you get closer to the equator seasons are reduced to the wet and the dry. Now you can plan that trip to the top of Australia for research — via LiveJournal

There was a science fiction novel several years ago about a world with such an eccentric orbit that it goes into a severe winter for decades. I don't recall the name of it, but I couldn't get warm for about a week after I finished reading — via LiveJournal

I know; in fact, I've heard the rain there falls mainly on the plain. That weather sounds more like what we get in Indiana, where there are two seasons: Winter and road construction — via LiveJournal

I kind of like soggy, but sometimes it's just a little too much. Still, better than the alternative in this case — via LiveJournal
