El Nino lowers Chao Phraya levels, predicted rain in 16 Thai provinces

[webfact]

 

Thailand’s National Water Command Centre (NWCC) has issued warnings regarding severe rainfalls predicted in 16 provinces, even as water levels around the Chao Phraya River are seen to decrease due to the El Nino weather conditions.

 

Surasri Kidtimonton, the deputy of the NWCC and the Secretary-General of the Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR), warned of the heavy showers expected to affect various regions, with the North, Northeast, East and western regions of the South being particularly impacted through to the end of the week.

 

The most significant warnings have been flagged for 16 provinces: Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Tak, Nan, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Nakhon Phanom, Sakhon Nakhon, Rayong, Chanthaburi, Trat, Ranong, Phangnga, Phuket, Satun and Trang.

Had to water the grass yesterday because there is no rain.  Already mid August....... chiayaphum drought on its way

I was in Kamphaeng Phet yesterday and the Ping river levels were the highest I have seen this year, The Ping river joins the Nan river 130 km downstream to form the Chao Phraya river at Nakhon Sawan.

No rain worth talking about in South Pattaya this year, I've been watering the garden almost every day since late last October. A month or so ago we had 2 or 3  inches, which I reckoned was more than we'd had in the rest of 2023 put together. Still, even if I was generous and said that in total we've had 6 inches so far this year, it's pathetic as, on average, June and July alone should have delivered around 20 inches.

Nakhon Pathom, two reasonable showers so far, in between them nothing.

Hope we get some spill over from Sakhon Nakhon. They've had quite a bit of rain this year but nothing much on this side of the hills in Kalasin.
