Today was special today especially towards evening. Surprisingly, the morning was cooler. The alto cumulus clouds brightened the day as always.
As day progressed, humidity picked up and winds reduced. It was sweltering weather. The afternoon was marked with heavy clouds with towering nimbus clouds hinted at thunderstorm development. There was no prediction on this by any weather models. The clouds looked truly gigantic. It was pleasure watching the distant clouds which moved like ocean waves.
The humidity increased as Sun advanced to evening. There was light rain but not significant enough to match the cloud mass. We felt as if the heavy clouds would anytime fall on us!
A faint rainbow popped up as we neared sundown. It was disconnected. The rural areas scored well as per news reports. Consequently only rainbow could be witnessed from our location, no rains
The city missed the thunderstorm. The monolithic large cloud mass overhead was massive to watch and capture. Perhaps this one my largest picture collection since monsoon outset this year. Lot of drama unfortunately faint rains. Perhaps the clouds did not co-ordinate their location to precipitate. Hence nobody poured in our location :-)
The blue hour was exciting but couldn't impress me much due to lack of rains despite dense cloud masses :-(
A couple of timelapses. As I mentioned, rural areas scored well. The rainshaft in first timelapse is testament to that claim. There were multiple actions all around but only camera to capture :-)
