Jonathan Fairfield Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Bangkok hit by freak rains By The Nation Image: FM91 Traffic Pro Traffic snarls hit several Bangkok roads after the capital was hit by freak rains at noon on Saturday. Heavy rains were reported in several parts of the city, including Huay Kwang, Sutthisarn, and Ratchadapisek. The heavy rains and subsequent shallow floods caused long lines of traffic on Ratchadapisek Road from Soi 12. The underpass under the Huay Kwang intersection was flooded and impassable for small cars during the deluge.

Popular Post Joe Mcseismic Posted November 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Many years ago, when I first came here, rainy season was from May to the start of December. TAT changed it, but, no one told the weather. Also, rainy and dry season should not be confused with the dates for the SW and NE monsoon direction changes. When the NE monsoon starts, the first month always has rain. Edited November 18, 2018 by Joe Mcseismic 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenbottle555 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 freak rains, as in this is supposed to be high season not rainy season. But, it can rain during any day of the year in Thailand. This isn't really that odd of an occurrence, especially for november. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
