Winter's day in tropical style

It's the day like today. Gloomy, with sounds of thunder, a bit showery and cool windy day. The Sun can't hardly be seen these days. The soil is wet all the time. It is quiet too. Oh, is it in Melbourne, or London's residential suburbs? No, it's in Jakarta! Yeah, the tropical city of Jakarta! 

But this is January, one of the last days of the month actually, the peak of rainy season, affected by Iggy tropical cyclone that made those sounds of thunder and wind horrifying. But there some signs of tropical: the lush green leaves of rambutan trees and sort of any kind of trees during this season; the crowd of fruit sellers selling: rambutan, mangosteen, duku, durian and more of the tropical fruits (i love them all!) on the street less than a kilometer away from here. 

The grass are even greener than during the typical days unlike these days. Yes, I got a feeling that it's winter. But the tropical signs are everywhere too. Should I just call it a winter's day in tropical style? Or a tropical winter? Just an idea. A rough idea.
