During the transition into the monsoon season towards May, thunderstorms can lead to flooding.
With the alternation of monsoons, the climate in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has gradually entered a changeable season. The sky is often covered with thick clouds, and the brightness of the sun becomes stronger and weaker. In late spring, April and May, especially in this season, the weather changes are particularly drastic, thunderstorms occur from time to time, and frequent rainfall also brings considerable challenges.
On an ordinary afternoon, the sun is still high in the sky and the temperature in the city is gradually rising. But suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, the weather turned dark in just a few minutes, the temperature dropped sharply, and the air was filled with the smell of rain. Immediately afterwards, thunder rumbled, lightning pierced the sky, and heavy rain poured down, washing the entire city in an instant.
In this weather, a small house in the old town looks particularly vulnerable. The roof tiles have become old and damaged after years of exposure to wind and rain. As thunderstorms approach, roof holes begin to show their dangerous side. The resident of the home, an elderly man, had to take out the various pots and buckets he had used to deal with this situation over the years and place them in various corners of the house, ready to catch the rainwater dripping from the ceiling.
The rain became more intense, and the water leaks in the house became more and more serious. In a corner of the roof, the water flow has formed a small waterfall, and water droplets are constantly flowing along the wall, moistening the wall and seeping into the furniture. As the old man moved the water container, he looked worriedly at the roof, his heart filled with helplessness. He has to face the same problem every year at this season, and the cost of roof repair is a big expense for him.
As the thunder receded, the rain began to subside. The sound of leaking water was no longer so intensive, and calmness gradually returned to the house. The old man began to clean up the water on the ground and check whether the furniture was damaged. Scenes like this have almost become a part of his life during thunderstorm seasons. Although the external natural environment is full of variables, he has learned to find the rhythm of life amidst this constant challenge.
This description not only reveals the natural phenomena and challenges brought about by the monsoon, but also reflects the helplessness and resilience of urban residents in the face of such periodic natural disasters. For many people, a change in the weather is far more than just a rain, but a series of challenges in life adjustments and coping strategies.
