Rain at Last - Thank Goodness

Featured Replies

I have never been so happy to hear thunder and see flashes of lightening, with the accompanying heavy rain. It's been a dry old winter and the relief from the heat and the freshness in the air are both very welcome. More please. 

Steady cooling downpour here this morning in Pattaya......:thumbsup:

Yep, really can't wait for the power cuts and blank TV screens. Bring it on!

Yes, unfortunately, that is inevitable.

Yep...big black cloud, but tiny rain this morning in Jomtien...BANG ! transformer blowout....results in a "brownout" with voltage of about 120v for a few hours...best to turn off everything electric when a brownout strikes...very very bad for electrical appliances.

More smog in Chiang Mai no sign of precipitation, or rain.

However, I do have to say that I would not be at all averse to a fair few drenchings of the natural (as distinct from man-made) variety between 12th April and the end of the month (which would be a first as far as I am concerned as the rain gods have always seemingly gone on strike over this period since I moved out here in 2008). Any consequential power cuts/brown outs would IMHO be a price worth paying if they meant a complete silencing of all those bloody multi-megawatt sound systems which inflict much pain and suffering on our eardrums!????
