People living in Thailand’s eastern, lower central, and upper southern regions are advised to brace for heavy rain next Friday and Saturday when an atmospheric depression is expected to make landfall near Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City next Thursday.

 

According to Team Group, who are water resource experts, a low-pressure system is forming over the western part of the Philippines and is likely to develop into a depression, probably to be named Malou, which may be the 20th storm in this part of the world this year.

 

Team Group said, via the Facebook page of Chawalit Chantararat, CEO of Consulting Engineering and Management, that it is closely monitoring the low-pressure system.

Next week, how about the massive Thunderstorm that just rolled on through BKK dumping rain as well as Zeus throwing lightening bolts about with reckless abandon.

Oh, so does this override the forecast that I recently saw, saying the cool-dry season would start next week?

Always starts in the North first then moves southwards, in the North now we are having mist/foggy mornings

Relax, chill..its water, not muriatic acid.

Yes the cool WET season starts next week.  I hope December becomes the cool drier season.

The 1st December was the start of the dry season and high season in the 80's and early 90's.

TAT then changed this to 1st November to squeeze in an extra month of high revenue.

The problem was that no one told the weather.

 

Reminds me of a joke.

Thai weather has now been designated as Muslim.

It is either Sunni, or Shiite.

Not unusual for the temperature to hit 35 in the cool season. The difference is there's much lower humidity, and that makes it far more comfortable.

So, how about letting water out of the dams before the storm hits and they overflow?

Still it dampens down the carcinogenic carbon particles to merely lethal levels.

The way my wife and the gate security people react whenever I go walking with a few clouds over head, you'd think it was acid. I'm from desert country and enjoy a little rain.????

Already ordered by the powers.

It'll either rain or it wont. That's what I reckon.
