snoop1130 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Heavy rain to lash country from Wednesday to Friday By The Nation Rainstorms are set to lash most of Thailand from Wednesday to Friday this week (October 7-9) as a tropical depression covers the country. The Meteorological Department said the depression is expected to become a storm on October 6 and reach Vietnam on October 7. It will move into the Gulf of Thailand on October 8. Heavy rain will fall in the lower Northeast, as well as the East, Central and South regions, while waves in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf will whip up to between two and four metres. Fishermen are warned to stay ashore from October 7 to 10 while people who suffer storm damage can contact the 24-hour national emergency hotline on 1182.

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Sounds utterly terrifying. Batten down the hatches folks. I hope the Bangkok Metropolitan district has cleaned the drai n s so the flooding is minimized. Same for Pattaya and other Areas as well. 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy John Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 We are in the lower North so may not get another lashing...not that there is anything wrong with a good lashing now and then... but every container and drum and tank we have is full of water so all it can do is cause flooding which is annoying and destructive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brunolem Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 A rain season that won't go away! By the end of July we were in drought mode, now we are in swamp mode, and it could get worse. With La Nina in full swing, we may "enjoy" this kind of weather until the end of the year... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Where I am, in Kalasin Province, it's been the best rainy season in years. Rain on probably 80+ per cent of the days since May and only one or two damaging storms. As I pump my water from underground it's comforting to see, although having said that it hasn't been a problem in previous 'dry' rainy seasons.

Take a lot of rain the bring the motorway to a standstill so you should be OK. If it hammering when you get to Pattaya be Wary of Suk road before the Pattaya Tai insection as that does flood and deep and you'd be best to take the new exit to U-Tapao motorway and head out that way taking the first exit and come back into Jomtien from the other end.

It stands at 5137 million cubic metres and the lowest it should be at this time of year is 7,832 million cu/m.

Guderian Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 The Pattaya desert could use a whole lot more rain. It's not that it's been a dry rainy season like last year, but so much of it has either been very light stuff that doesn't even wet the roads, or else a torrential downpour that wastes most of the rainwater as runoff. We could really use a week or four of steady, persistent rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
