I'd heard the distant thunder at odd times the last few hours and was preparing for the forecast big torrential downpour. when I walked along the corridor and saw the rays of the setting sun coming through our upstairs window, I looked out preparing for the worst.

Then I saw the huge monumental clouds and thought this might make a blip. I went downstairs quickly and with my phone I walked onto the street. The sun had begun to be obscured by the thick clouds and a wonderful sky ensued.

The menacing dark clouds reminded me of flying through the arriving monsoon as I descended into Rangoon Airport from Bangkok in 1982. I remember it well. After a few hours it began to rain incessantly for weeks. 

Tonight the rain didn't come, nor any further thunder. But it was muggy all night and I had a blip.
