When it rains, it pours

Bangkok's been scorched by the sweltering heat of late, with temperatures as high as 40 degrees celcius in the past week.

The thunderous rain brought about a nice change from the unbearable heat. Below are the view from the balcony as the sky progressively turned darker before heaven opened up. This was followed by a massive downpour, accompanied by loud thunderstorms and lightning bolts, lasting for at least a good 2 hour.

I simply love it when it rains. The harder the rain, the better...so long as I'm tucked in at home.
