Popular Post BritManToo Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) And it's still pouring down at 8:30am at MaeJo/SanSai, surprised there isn't any flooding. Bit of thunder and lightning in the distance. Never seen it like this before in dry season. At least it'll wash the smog away.

Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hopefully there is more rain to come. It's a welcome relief in what is traditionally the hottest time of the year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post worgeordie Posted April 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2022 Usually at this time of year I have to put the pump in the river at the rear of the house to water the garden ,not easy and nearly takes all day, so this rain has been most welcome . regards Worgeordie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagallim Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Been here (Phuket) 14 years now, with the norm being no rainfall at all January through to the end of April. Not this year, quite frequent heavy rain February, March and now April, so not only Chiang Mai getting something out of the ordinary. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) Slept right through it ..... Vaguely remember hearing some loud boomers.... Got up & saw we got a good drenching..... Asked the wife - she slept right through until 8:00 (usually an early riser) & she didn't hear anything either.... San PaTong area....

orang37 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Many years I've been here (Chiang Mai, not Tralfamadore), it has rained the lqast day of Songkran. That's the way it's supposed to work: the rain-making Phayanaak (Nagas) lolling in the outermist ocean surrounding the seven concentric reefs around Tavatimsa Heaven, ...well ... they get lazy ... so the sympathetic magick of water-throwing at Songkran gives them a metaphysical nudge to get on the job. But, the current deluge ? Young Naga jumps the gun ? Climate change ? who cares ? ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMBob Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Rained pretty hard on the west end with some minor street flooding. Nice and cool out, like December as one poster mentioned. But the shocker to me is the air quality (maybe never saw it this low in CM but definitely not in April)..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayong province has been getting some good rain and thunder (buddha talking) Thanks for the memory..... When I lived in the Sierras, storms used to roll through.....Rain, thunder/lightning, & snow storms...... I had a small extended out front porch with 4ft walls/open upper half..... Just enough room to keep it toasty while stoking up the Weber bbq with a couple of chairs and a couple of cold ones, cooking & watching while the fury of the storms raged around me creating great theatrics and an unmatched symphony..... Loved it there - until the divorce swept it all away..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Anyway I do remember about 3 years ago in Pattaya our lake/ resovior dried up so the big rain was welcome. About 4 nights ago we had heavy rain that dragged in till the next day. I love it but don't have to deal with it.

Iamfalang Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 This is the craziest weather the Earth has ever seen, and we have witnessed it!!! It has never been crazier, and never will be crazier!!! I've been here 11,000 years and we are seeing history, nobody has seen what we have seen!! We are special humans!!! Write books about this!!! Of course, it's nothing like the Thailand floods 11 and 30 years ago, and basically nothing compared to a zillion other places on Earth, but forget about history!! They didn't have chat rooms and threads. OMG, I see clouds forming!!! Not again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
