Monsoon III by photographer Mike Olbinski is a stunning collection of time-lapse videos showing how a monsoon forms. During the summer, the sun quickly warms the land. The air above it warms up as well so it rises and expands, turning into a low pressure system. Moisture-laden air from the oceans sweeps in, lifts up, condenses, and thus - storms are formed.
These gifs frankly do not give the video justice. Watch it on Vimeo.
