EricTh Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) It's raining heavily in sansai now. much, much more heavier than this afternoon. Bangkok Post reported that a man died of lightning under a big tree yesterday while splashing water. It is dangerous to be under a tree during a storm.

heybruce Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 A short rain in the Nimmanhamin area, but enough to get the ground wet. We haven't seen that for a while. The entire area (northern Thailand and surrounding countries) needs much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminiscent of the squalls we used to get here quite a few years ago,as mentioned, ferocious and a little scary. Only had partial power for the last few hours. At least it has cooled own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simoh1490 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Seriously scary winds and heavy rain in Mae Rim two nights ago, last night just rain - the forecast is for more of the same so that probably means dry and hot sun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsally Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Got a better look this morning, it was actually 6 big power poles over on the Cholprathan Rd , near the place that makes the bamboo construction (CDC?). Jolly lucky there are no houses at that point !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Also if you own a house in that moobahn next to Lanna Pinery (the one with the Thai style roofs) you might want to go and check if your roof leaks - lots of tiles missing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTh Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) There is a warning from Bangkok Post that there will be strong winds and rain later this week. However, today and next two days are extremely hot. Temperature will go up to 39 C. So do plan your outings.
