Today, the weather was exceedingly gloomy and oppressive; the sky was overcast with heavy clouds. There was a heavy rain.
When I got off the bus, I looked up at the sky. The sky was listless. There were black clouds sailing in the dark sky. It was sad and crying; many tears were falling down. Soon, the rain poured heavily. Everywhere it was dull and lonely. Suddenly, the sky blew its top. A flash of lightning swept across the sky. Peals of thunder sounded every now and then. It was a deafening roar. The merciless rain went on without pause.
At its climax, the rain came down in sheets. Many pedestrians dashed for shelters. Some of them got an umbrella, but some of them didn't. Big drops spattered on their heads and the rain drenched them thoroughly in no time. They got all wet from head to toe. People waded through the water. After an hour had passed, the street was nearly deserted. The heavy rain continued to patter on the umbrellas.
Soon, the rain stopped and the sky was not only clear, but also shadowless blue. While clouds were floating leisurely across the sky, the sun slowly appeared and the sky was beginning to brighten. After the heavy rain, the surroundings took on a completely new appearance. I was deeply attracted by the inviting scenes and I constantly stared at the lovely scenery. I was not only engrossed in the poetical and picturesque environment, but I also fully enjoyed the sunny landscape. I was appreciating the fascinating view while I was strolling leisurely.
The quiet day crept slowly, and eventually evening came. The setting sun was fast disappearing beyond the horizon.
