Every year, during the period in between Carnival and Easter, popularly known as Lent (temp’i kuaresma), and sometimes earlier or later in the year, the wind pattern in our region tends to be irregular. When the directions from which the winds originate shift towards the south-east, our island might receive visits from a bizarre organism, one that we often are not too happy with.
