Thailand’s north-eastern, eastern and central regions, including Bangkok and its peripherals, will see more rain, with isolated heavy showers and strong winds, as a result of tropical storm Sonca, which made landfall in Vietnam’s Quang Ngai province at 4am today (Saturday).

 

The Thai Meteorological Department said that the storm, packing wind speeds of 65kph at its centre, has been moving west towards Sekong province in Laos at a rate of 20kph and will, eventually, weaken to a tropical depression and then a low pressure cell.

 

The provinces in Thailand’s northeast, which are expected to see heavy rain today, are Sakhon Nakhon, Nakhon Phanom, Kalasin, Mukdahan, Roi Et, Yasothon, Amnat Charoen, Buri Ram, Surin, Si Sa Ket and Ubon Ratchathani.

 

People living at the base of mountains or close to waterways are advised to brace for flash floods or overflows from rivers or creeks.

Today it is raining a long time already, but it did not even fill 1 empty tank after all this time (only 20% full now) so the rains are very light.

Exactly. Got much stronger over the morning.

Yesterdays forecasts are for the bin.

 Not here in the Kalasin area. Cleared up a bit now but heavy since last night. Took a couple of " out of the pool. Pool's about 100000L.

It's still raining here, if I was a bit thinner and walked side-ways I doubt that I would get wet when walking outside
