Five regions warned of heavy rains brought by storm Doksuri

By The Nation

 

The Meteorological Department has warned residents of many provinces in five regions of the country to brace for possible heavy downpour on Friday and Saturday because of the influence of Typhoon Doksuri and the southwest monsoon.
 

In its warning issued at 4am on Friday, the department said Typhoon Doksuri over the South China Sea was centred 480 kilometres southeast of Vinh, Vietnam, at a latitude of 17.8 degrees North, longitude 107.9 degrees East, with maximum sustained winds at about 130km per hour. 

 

It said the storm is moving west-northwest at speeds of 25kph and it is expected to move through Tonkin Bay and make landfall over Vinh in Vietnam on Friday and then downgrade to a tropical storm over Laos and upper Northeast Thailand. 

 

The storm, coupled with a strong southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea and the South, would unleash torrential downpour in the North, the Northeast, the Central, the East and the South, the warning said. 

 

The following provinces will be affected: 

 

On Friday: 

 

North: Nan, Phrae, Phayao , Uttaradit, Phetchabun, Phitsanulok, Sukhothai, Phichit, Kamphaeng Phet, Lamphun, Lampang, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai , Mae Hong Son and Tak.

South: Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, Ranong, Phang-Nga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang and Satun.

Living not far from Sawang Daen Din in Sakon Nakhon province we had a huge storm yesterday evening and as strange as it's possible no " electric cut " except two or three very mini power cuts..less than a second each .

This morning was raining without wind and at 11 am still raining; we will have rain all the day and surely tomorrow.

Hope like today, without wind...

Category 2 Typhoon at landfall in Vietnam predicted to be the strongest in 10 years. Looks like the track has shifted W from WNW which could bring the centre of the storm over Nong Khai instead of further north in Laos. Most of northern Thailand will be affected to some degree but hope the areas hit hard by TS Sonca are not too badly affected. Here in Chaiyaphum it is clouding up but no sign of any wind or rain just yet. There is plenty of rain showing up on the Khon Kaen radar though so expecting things to go downhill from late afternoon onwards.

I don't know where you live but I had to  drive into the centre of Sawang Daen Din. The rain was so heavy i could barely see the road. The main road through town (route 22) was totally flooded. All traffic lights were out and a total electricity blackout for over one hour where I live and all this at dinner time 8 pm. Really annoying.

Here in Hua Hin we rarely see the kinds of rain fall the rest of Thailand's gets, but it started to cloud up last night and some very light rain this afternoon. The storm looks huge on the IR sat loop.

[farcanell]

It doesn't seem to include Bangkok proper.... they'll just get the floods afterwards!

[Howiehotspur]

Nothing in Pattaya ..little bit of rain Thursday night .

 

[phantomfiddler]

As long as it doesn,t rain in Spain ! After tomorrow,s booze price increase I am flying there to get pie-eyed, but someone said that the planes in Spain fall mainly in the rain !

[Ossy]

It's at times like these that I wish we'd something more protective than the drop-down curtain on our 'living' balcony. Hate to think I'll be listening to TalkSport in bed, tonight.

[NCC1701A]

And now a big rain storm in Hua Hin. Coming across the gulf east to west.

That is a nice Website - yes 

https://www.ventusky.com/?p=16.6;103.6;5&l=rain-3h&t=20170915/00

 

I had the same experience - living in that area too

and was surprised also - even would have taken a bet that electricity would stop for some time - but same - good 

 

That your and mine main shopping Center LOTUS, Sawang Den Din is closed for 3? month after deep flooding

and opens in October surprised me - but possibly they do there now a planned up grade more early - then planned.

 

You know details?

Pissing down in Kalasin now.. looks like it is set in for the night.. we got flooded with Sonca.. hopefully not again... This system is headed for the north west.. Chiang Mai etc..  AND.. there is another system approaching that area from the Adman Sea.. it will all eventually go down the Chao Praya.. and pass through BKK..  2011 again??

Lots of noise in Cha-am but no rain yet,it rained really heavy in Tha yang about one hour ago.

 

[Bangkok Barry]

Had quite heavy rain all day in Somdet (Kalasin Province). With the same or worse predicted on Saturday I guess the bridges will collapse again. Some are still being repaired from the three solid days of rain we had a few weeks ago, and a field behind my house is still flooded from then. Provides a nice swimming pool for the dogs

seeing reports of flash flooding in mountain streams and streets in many parts of Thailand via girlfriends facebook.

 

business as usual. but i have to say the sat loop looks nasty.

Nothing in Chiang Rai as yet, day has been quite hot.

Friday night......... I just drove back to Pattaya from Ban Chang (South Of Pattaya) and had a few heavy downpours.............. It may be on the way...............

 

[Dumbastheycome]

Had    very  heavy  rain   yesterday  evening preceded  by   nasty  wind  gusts. Just   drizzle   today.

Rain is  no issue   but  swirling wind  is  an unpredictable   item!

[canuckamuck]

Issan must be feeling it by now. Nong Kai for sure
