Bang Na hardest hit with 138mm rainfall

By The Nation

 

The road beside Central Ban Na shopping mall is heavily flooded Wednesday morning.

 

The Bang Na district was the hardest hit by freak rainfall early on Wednesday, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s drainage and sewerage department reported.

 

At 10.30am, the department said Bang Na district had accumulated rainfall of 138 millimetres from rains that started at about 5am.

 

The department said variable rainfall happened in Yannawa, Klong Toei, Vadhana, Phayathai, Ratchathevi, Huay Kwang, Din Daeng, Wang Thong Lang, Bang Kapi, Saphan Sung, Suan Luang, Phra Khanon, Prawet and Bang Na districts.

 

The Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rainfalls this week as a harbinger of another sharp drop in temperature. Forecasters attribute this to a high pressure mass that has moved down from China into Vietnam and Thailand.

If it rains like this on the last sunday of a month when the mall is open there will be thousands of cars in the floodwater.

 

Maybe it's time for a new drainpipe?? Just saying...

Not me. Though we didn't do too badly last year for rainfall up here in rural Khampaeng Phet, last year my fishpond only got to 80% and this morning it was down to around 5% already. IIRC the last time it was full was 2011.

When there is heavy rain sooooo early in January, that is indeed a cause for concern for Tornado season 2018

Don't be silly mate, Sukhumvit will NOT flood this year since they installed new underground canals with huge waterpumps and so...

 

And today Sukhumvit did NOT flood, there was only some water being left to drain ...will be all gone tomollow.

Good to see the governments keeping up with cleaning the pollution away. Good job. Deserves a pat on the back.
