This adorable moment an owl cooled off by soaking in a kitchen sink.

Toto, the two-month-old Collared Scops Owl, was spotted bathing in a bowl in the sink in Nong Khai, Thailand, on April 24.

Footage shows the feathered creature moving its wings while in the water.

It eventually emerged from the water to receive some petting from its owner.

With the city's temperature reaching 41 degrees Celsius, the bird sought relief by diving into the water.

Officials at the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD) said that dozens of regions across the country have seen record temperatures in April, with new highs beating records held as far back as 1958.

Across Southeast Asia, soaring temperatures have strained national grids as locals turn on the electricity for air conditioning.

The country's weather bureau warned people to stay indoors, with temperatures this week topping 40 degrees Celsius.

In addition to the demand for water and electricity, locals have been buying sunscream.
