The Meteorological Department Monday warned residents of several northern, northeastern, central and eastern provinces to brace themselves for heavy rains during the day.

 

In its 15th warning of heavy rains issued at 5am Monday, the department said the downpours would be unleashed by the influence of a high pressure ridge sitting over the upper North and the Northeast extending towards the monsoon trough across Central and Eastern Thailand.

 

The wet weather would be exacerbated by the southwest monsoon prevailing over the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.

 

Heavy rain is forecast for the lower North, the lower Northeast, the Central region and the East.

 

The affected areas are as follows:

 

North: Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai, Lamphun, Lampang and Tak.

 

Northeast: Chaiyaphum, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buriram, Surin, Si Sa Ket and Ubon Ratchathani.

 

Central: Kanchanburi, Uthai Thani, Nakhon Sawan, Lop Buri and Saraburi.

 

East: Prachin Buri, Chanthaburi and Trat.

 

The department advised the public to monitor weather updated and beware of the severe conditions and possible flash flooding.

Seeing is believing. We are not getting the normal rain for our area of Surin.

 

You told us this last week; to expect heavy and prolonged rain throughout the North East for the whole week up to the 9th, but hardly a single drop fell, in fact it looked more like April weather.  How is it possible to be so wrong, inaccurate and unreliable? 

Again,we had 0.2 mil yesterday,hardly time to start building an ark.

Perhaps the weather has resorted to Thai Time

Agree. It looks wet to me but my family says: No no, rice not grow. Not water enough.

I've  been outside 5  hours monitoring, when can i stop?

Nor are we in Udon Thani.    Have had to water the garden for a few days now as it is so dry. Our ponds need some water too,   never seen the water level this low for the last 5 years.   Very patchy though as the over the mountains in the North they  seem to have taken our share,  or at least it looks like it as I drive there often.

And they will announce it again and again and again during the whole rainy season,..... great "wet news" as always...

A Low Pressure Area in the Luzon Straights has Intensified into  a Tropical Depression and expected to further intensify into a Tropical Storm / Typhoon in the next 24 hours.

It is predicted to move WNW over Hainan and Vietnam, If it intensifies further it can be expected to affect rainfall in the North and North East Thailand

There is an "If" in that statement.   Also there is a "can be expected" in that statement.  So all in all it could be just a "maybe".  However I hope where we are the maybe becomes "it will"
