If you watch much of the news, you know that the country of Australia is undergoing some serious problems with drought and wildfires that are ravaging across the entire countryside. Australia has been dry for so long that it must have started to feel like it would never rain again; thankfully, a recent downpour brought some relief and gave one little boy the chance to experience rain for the first time ever.

Sunni McKenzie is an 18-month-old little boy who lives in New South Wales. The area where he lives is incredibly dry and, as Sunni’s mom, Tiffany, told Daily Mail Australia, the weather has been so hideous that little Sunni has never had a chance to see rain before.

During the recent rain that they received, Tiffany took Sunni out to enjoy the weather while completing some chores and managed to catch his adorable reaction on video. Sunni began to run around wildly in the oncoming water, exclaiming “wow!” as he felt it on his tiny body.

Tiffany’s video drew the attention of local media and she was interviewed by Daily Mail Australia. Tiffany explained that her little boy loves water and enjoys playing with the hose, but they have to limit his time since the family is on tank water.

When she and the little boy noticed that it was starting to rain, they were in a hurry to get their plants out where they could get some much-needed water. But Sunni wasn’t ready to just end his time in the rain after moving the plants! His mom told Daily Mail Australia that he just kept walking in the wet substance and stood under it, amazed by what was happening.

Tiffany told Daily Mail Australia that this was her son’s first chance to play in the rain and that, obviously, he enjoyed it a lot. We can only hope that this is the first of many showers of rain that Sunni is able to play in and that, eventually, seeing it rain will no longer be a shocking event for the toddler. It is certainly time that Australia receives some relief from the fires and droughts that are ravaging the entire countryside.

Watch the video for yourself so that you can enjoy seeing Sunni’s first experience with rain!
