monspencer Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Somewhat contradictory, first it says " The Thai weather men announced that Bangkok and Pattaya would experience heavy rains over the next 24 hours." then it goes on to say "There would be a 70% chance of rain in Bangkok and surrounding provinces." Hedging their bets a bit there. So there is a 30% chance we won't get rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chowny77 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Well here in Uttaradit we had a whooper of a storm this morning, it even made the house shake with the thunder. The electric was out from about 8:30am and only was restored at 3pm. Nothing better than having to take a bucket shower because the water pump was off to wake you up in the morning.

soistalker Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 I don't know who I'd rather believe, the Thai "weather man" or the tarot card reader at the night market. I'm going with the tarot guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy360 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Al Gore is the one reporting the weather. Most weather reporters can look outside and can't tell you what the weather is, let alone forecast it for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Usually when they make such predictions for Pattaya, I can count on there being little, if any, rain for the next 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfd101 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) There are more variables involved in forecasting tomorrow's weather than in forecasting next year's or 20 years down the track. Which means that tomorrow's forecast has a greater chance of being inaccurate than next year's. Which makes Gore's life easier than he deserves ...

Jingthing Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) It was extremely bad last night in South Pattaya. The baht bus going to Jomtien was more like a BOAT than a bus. I was surprised it made it through at all. The water was starting to enter a few blocks of businesses as the bus passed.

So there is a 30% chance we won't get rain Common misunderstanding about that. https://www.weather.gov/ffc/pop It means, there is a 70% chance that a given person in Bangkok will get rain, but probably a very high chance that many people in Bangkok will get rain.

I am around 60 k's west of BKK, rain nearly every night, a little on and off during the days. Also some extraordinary lightening and thunder shows during the night. The latter is so loud that it shakes the house and starts the dog off, which he does not normally do. We have been lucky on so far as black outs, only getting them spasmodically, in the early hours of the morning and they last about an hour at the most.
