Some of you have been wondering what does SurClaro name stand for, and how did I come up with the name. Here it is the explanation.

On my country Chile, specially on southern regions, there's a popular saying which states; "Clear North, obscured South, rainfall is assured", or in Spanish; "Norte claro, Sur obscuro, aguacero seguro". If you look towards the north and there are no clouds, and looking towards the south is cloud covered, a rainfall will come for sure.

Well, the name SurClaro try to state the opposite, meaning that a better weather, or a better future will come. It's only a positive way to view things.
