We haven't had rain for a month just a few drops do you believe it's going to rain this weekend Saturday and Sunday that's what the forecast on my app says but do you believe it or is it just going to sprinkle cuz the rivers are dry the grass is dry I can go out and burn grass it's so dry if you don't get rain we're going to be very screwed next year.

I'm not sure where you are but here in Mahasarakham we haven't had much rain for a week or two but there's enough water in the rice fields. Could do with a little more to keep it topped up. 

This week little bit of rain but prior weeks lots

Many farmers hurting

Nothing in Pattaya for about a month.  Hot as sh#t too.

It is difficult to answer your statement/question with a yes or no so I am going with a maybe simply because the future is not here yet but still in the future if it was here one could simply say yes/no because one would know the answer already but if you hold some of your dry grass in the air and let it go you could see where the wind is blowing from and no matter what we are all screwed already we just don't know it yet.

Samui.....Maybe had 5-6 days when it rained since January (short Thunder Storms), but not all day.

 

Some good storms though at the time!

 

The local reservoir went from nearly dry to about 2/3rds full now.

 

Luckily, we have a well under our place, but it hadn't been used for about 15 years for some reason....We moved in 13 years ago.

 

So, I got it checked out and re-commisioned and bought and fitted a Brand New pump.

 

So far....So Good!

In Nong Khai rainfull average for August.

Had a decent monsoonish rain for a couple hours here in Bang Phli last night.

At the moment, here is falling a lot of water, the GF complaining, last week se sowed cauliflower and it's all washed away now..... 

I live near Mahasarakham and rainfall has been well below average (about 75% of average). September is normally the wettest month so maybe we can make it up. 

 

My ponds are at about 50%. Last year they were 75% at end August.

We are having a below normal wet season (last year was very wet) with the wife watering her durian trees from the well. Otherwise still enough rain to keep the grass alive.

Drove through Uttaradit last week and was depressing to see how dry it was, rice fields with absolutely no water.

had over the top monsoon type rain here in the  Hua Hin area over the last two days

I could send you some it's not stopped raining here for the past 3 months, my thai wife has to cycle to work through it, Manchester UK

Always when I check my weather app, or read the news online, it says '(heavy) rain every day', but in reality there is either no rain, or only brief drizzle rain... It is cloudy, though, but there isn't as much rain as forcast.

Try a Golden Shower ????

Flooding here in upper Sakon Nakhon.

 

When it isn't raining it's uncomfortably hot.  Don't remember it being so consistently hot all the time. 

Plenty of rain here in the upper west.

Raining now & just had our first 2 days without in 3 weeks.

Garden vegetables pretty much gone, just too much

Yeah, but the only real rain we've had since rainy season started. Welcome, but we need more.

Most of the pineapple fields around me have been newly planted. Without more rain they will do nothing.

Have no idea what you're talking about.

 

It's been raining almost every day for the past month.  Only a few days it hasn't rained.

 

There was about 5 days when it didn't stop raining.

 

Chiang Rai, Thailand. ????

remember this story        

Since middle of June plenty of rain in Udon Thani. Maybe slightly less than normal, but rare to get 3 days without rain. Our rice field is full and ponds close to full already.

Europe is under a heat wave with many places reaching 45° C.
