Well, in UK, It appears that June will be the end of May.

Whether that will start rain anywhere I'm not sure.

    Hm, has Rainy Season been properly informed on that too, memo and all ...? Believe it when I see it, right now up here as dry as one of these 72 year old virgins waiting in some peoples paradise

this, and that Poughkeepsie didn't get 2 feet of snow in April again, means everything is okay.  

 

normal.

 

and hey, it's not until next year we get anything of a "real" El Nino.  that we do know.  it's in the rear view mirror as well along with 2019 so far being the 2nd warmest recorded in 140 years. 

late May?  makes sense!  it's perfectly normal.

Just shake the "magic 8 ball" no floods no drought - everything hunky dory - haven't a clue - hopefully if new PM from FFP is elected (though not likely) he can look and do something about it - or HM carry on his late fathers excellent work 

Careful what you say????

Remind me to stick an umbrella in the car and send a Brand New Dart Board and Darts to the Weather Prognosticators.

This is what you call a long range forecast Mr Fish now just a name for the one tropical cyclone ???? 

Having lived in Hong Kong for 20 years I can assure the TMD that the formation of, size, intensity and final track of typhoons (tropical cyclones )are all TOTALLY unpredictable

It seems that most posters on this thread have no idea what metereolgy is and how accurate it is....... for a start they are talking about the start of the RAINY SEASON not about rain........ what is happening is the hand from the NorthEast Monsoon to the South West and the strengthening of that weather system - this means the the rainy season is commencing - it isn't wizardry, jiggery-mockery or reading tea leaves, it is a science and quite accurate too.

What repeatedly amazes me is the number r of expats who don't understand the weather systems in Thailand and make the mostt outaeous and inaccurate comments as a result. They don't even seem to understand the difference between weather and climate.

Me for one

How much does an Army general know about the weather? 

 

   Nil.

That means June 12th for goodness sake.

Two dogs humping in the early morning ( with bums into the wind ) means noon or midnight

If you see a rabbit then it must be Easter.
