The monsoon season is here

Dark skies, heavy showers, thunder storms, black clouds, a flooded street. Yesterday afternoon the monsoon arrived to Cambodia. The thunder and rainfall lasted for most of the evening, and I watched the spectacular lightning from my apartement on the 5:th floor. The same this afternoon; the clouds built up during early afternoon, turned darker during late afternoon and then very suddenly; thunder and heavy rainfall. Seems like the monsoon season has arrived here to stay for the next six months... 

Note to self: make sure to pack a raincoat and rubber boots when going on that field trip to nortwestern Cambodia later this week...
