Aguacero
A heavy downpour or torrential rain. In the Dominican Republic, it is a law of nature that an Aguacero only occurs when it is most inconvenient.
1. You are on foot and don't have an umbrella. 2. You just left the hair salon (a frequent weekly ritual for Dominican women). 3. You are looking sharp but have to take a public bus to avoid the Aguacero, only to arrive smelling like a stranger's rank armpit odor and fried food. 4. You are moving house and the stove and fridge are sitting in the back of an open truck.
