trucking Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Anyone needs rain pm me. For a modest fee to cover expenses etc I will come to your address , wash and wax my car, buff up the tyre sidewalls, and hoover the interior. On completion of above I can guarantee heavy rain and muddy roads within 24 hours. Caveat, you will be required to sign a disclaimer exonerating me of any liability should local flooding occur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that he watches me more than anyone else on the planet. It has been pretty dry here for a while and we were having our drive repaired 5 days ago. As soon as the CPAC cement truck turned up and started to pour 3500 bahts worth of cement mix the skys opened and an absolute deluge of water fell for 30 minutes. He must have bust a gut laughing.

We seem to define 50% differently - in my view only about 20% of country (confined to NorthEast and border regions). But agree more than yesterday.

Yep.. that is typical of these pacific storms that come in with the NE monsoon.. they tend to come across from the Philippines.. head west to Danang in Vietnam.. then head north west into China.. Thailand is usually just on the edge of them.. as in this one. Occasionally one comes straight across into Thailand .. when one does we get torrential rain.. as has happened a few times over the last few years.. Eg.. the floods of 2011 and several times since that caused a lot of flooding here in the north east.. and Ubon Ratichani.. where it all ends up on its way to the Mekong.. A mixed blessing.. it fills the dams left dry by the decline of the south west monsoon.. but causes very destructive flooding.. Thats climate change for you.. It is warming oceans that drive this change.. I don't see any big storms behind this on at the moment.. but early days.. now is the time the NE monsoon usually kicks in..https://www.ventusky.com/?p=15.3;116.0;4&l=rain-3h 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortean1 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Twelve years just south of Hua Hin and east of Pran Buri and this is a dry monsoon for us so far. July and August are usually drier months. AccuWeather is showing heavy rains in northern Laos and into Northeast Thailand. We live only 60 or so miles west of Sattahip. Those storms hitting that area have not made it into our area. I find that posting your storm and heavy rain on Facebook is a good way to track over the years. You get those updates going back years so this helps to refresh our memory.

Certainly seems odd your post as the rainfall the past 3 years is the highest in 10. Buriram is a big province. Some areas fared better, some left dry. You may have been up here at a lucky spot or a good week last year. Certainly in my area it got better only in the last month. Unfortunately too late for some as their crops are dead. The family makes around 100-150 k baht from the rice on their 18 rai a good year. 2 years ago it was down to 50k, last year was 80k. The national tv was full of Buriram 2 months ago about the water shortages. I and almost every neighbour had to get a well drilled as the government water supply was non existent.

Kalasin Jo Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 At last it's raining here in Kalasin and outlying areas. Forecast for several days and much lower temperatures. But humidity is very high. Now what to do with the laundry that needs to dry????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
