Moscow Thunderstorm

The loud thunder can cause you to jump when it suddenly booms above you. The thunder rumbles a few seconds after the lightning strikes. The rain pours down all around you splatting on the ground and splashing in the puddles. The smell of rain is all around, the little droplets fall to the ground, the lightning strikes and thunder booms, summer must be in full bloom. Monthly rainfall totals don't vary throughout the year, although the precipitation levels tend to be higher during the summer. Moscow has a humid continental climate with warm and somewhat humid summers, and long, cold winters.
