Time-lapse shows rain storm clouds moving over building in Bangkok

Time-lapse footage shows dark grey storm clouds bring a tropical rain storm as they move across the skyline of buildings and tower blocks in Bangkok, Thailand on December 4. Thailand and other countries in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines are nearing the end of their tropical monsoon rainy season, which last until late November. Soaring temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius are often followed by powerful tropical storms with thunder, lightning, rain and flash floods which cause rivers to flow faster and become dangerous. Many of the under-developed nations struggle to cope with the heavy rain due to under-investment infrastructure.
