Popular Post KarenBravo Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 I really can't remember a wetter dry season than this one. Usually, by mid-February, my lawn is brown and crispy. This year still green. Dipped the well yesterday to see how much water I had and it's 1.5 metres higher than usual at this time of year, though this could be because of the dearth of tourists. Usually at this time of year, every tenth vehicle on the road is a water truck. So far, I've seen a total of two in the last month, or so. I'm lovin' it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post beechbum Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 It's almost looking like a case of one wet season merging with the next. The return of the tourist is certainly noticeable on the roads, some people should just never be allowed to ride a motorcycle. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailand Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 The Covid effect on travel in general and less pollutants temporarily affecting the climate perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. The SW and NE monsoons are driven by seasonal temperature differences between east Asia and the Indian ocean. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagallim Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Indeed, the norm is/was for negative rainfall between early January and late April and even early May. February this year was more like September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Not often that "Singapore News" get attention in the forum (about the NE monsoon) Edited March 17, 2022 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KarenBravo Posted March 17, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 Just a quick aside. Monsoon refers to wind direction and has nothing to do with rain, though usually one brings rain (SW) and one usually brings dry weather (NE). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 One minor downside to this wet weather, is that the explosions of colour from Bougainvillea, Hibiscus, Allamanda and a few other flowering plants is rather subdued this year.

Not sure what the yellow flowered trees beside the roads are called but it loves the current climate, it's blooming big time everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
