A Storm is Brewing II

Dark rain clouds are darkening the evening sky further. A storm is brewing...

A Storm is Brewing

Dark rain clouds are amassing overhead. Wind speed is picking up. Sweet, sharp odour of ozone is in the air. A storm is definitely brewing. 

Storm

I woke up to see a sky darkened with black thick rain clouds. Moments later after I took the photos, the wind started blowing and the storm hit us. 

It has been very humid and hot the past few days. This storm would bring some respite from the heat, I hope.

Freak Rainstorms

Freak rainstorms occurred both in UK and Singapore.

The heaviest rainfall ever recorded in UK triggered floods in the Lake District which were as deep as 8 feet in some areas. The flood created by the freak rainstorm in Britain was cited as a 1-in-a-1000 years flood.

On Thursday, almost half of the average monthly rainfall for November fell from 1 - 3pm and created floods in the Bukit Timah area. Our flood was cited as a 1-in-a-50 years flood.
I used to live in Bukit Timah area for close to 20 years until I moved in the late 90s. It used to flood quite easily whenever it rains heavily. Used to love it when my brother and I were young because it meant we could be late for school or even better, we didn't have to go to school! Haha. :P
