Ireland maybe ? Can happen , especially if you have a cold when you ask. PS Great avatar PPS You sure it's colds , not bird flu ?

meom Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 The south west monsoon is supposed to arrive somewhere between may and july and depending where you are in LOS rain will start somewhere this time until november when it's supposed to be dry except in the south where they also have to face the north-east monsoon from november to january.

Ulysses G. Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 (edited) I'd say it was ONE month early and thank you GOD! I hate hot season. Edited May 10, 2007 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobi Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I distinctly remember it raining during and after Songkran last year, so if it is early, it's at least the second year this has happened. I don't think there's any hard and fast rule about when the rains will start. Some years they come early, some late, sometimes it rains for a month or so, then stops for a month or so, then starts again., and so on... All quite unpredictable. A bit like England Personally I love the rain, it cools everything down, and out here in pollution free Pong, where we don't get in each others faces, no one seems to have colds.

Ulysses G. Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 It ALWAYS rains a few times during and around Songkran - the Mango rains. However, it doesn't keep on going like this year. I don't remember it doing this in the last 17 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobi Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I think it depends where you are. Even where I am 15 kms inland from Pattaya, we get a lot more rain than Pattaya does. A lot of the rain is very localised, and it can be raining in Bangkok, and not along the east coast, or it can be inundating parts of Issan for weeks, and we don't have any down here, and so on... I'm sure Chiang Mai has different weather patterns too. As I said, I don't see any difference this year to last year. (Before that I was in Bangkok.)

ashacat Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I have noticed this too. Typically you will get some rain this time of year, but I reckon it's been much wetter so far. Friends in the UK have been telling me that it has been one of the dryest April's in history. Maybe we are getting their rain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chownah Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 It is entirely possible that the weather will get hot again for an extended period...maybe even a month with no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCCR6 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 It is entirely possible that the weather will get hot again for an extended period...maybe even a month with no rain. I hope so considering it's El Niño year... I was hoping for a long hot season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naam Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 No matter which way I turn every one seems to have a really bad cold rain does not cause colds. drafts are causing colds. avoid fans and most important avoid sleeping next to an open crack.

chevykanteve Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 It is entirely possible that the weather will get hot again for an extended period...maybe even a month with no rain. Or --equally possible-- a month with giant hail and locusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
