snoop1130 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Torrential rainfall was observed throughout Pattaya City and its surrounding areas early this morning, October 25th, lasting for nearly an hour. The onslaught of heavy rain occurred in line with the Thai Meteorological Department’s warning of increased rainfall and gusty winds across various regions of Thailand, including the northeastern, central, and upper southern regions, from October 24th to the 29th, 2023. This is due to the weakening of a high-pressure system and a cool air mass over upper Thailand and the South China Sea, coupled with an approaching monsoon trough.

scubascuba3 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I didn't see any forecast or alert specific to Pattaya, I did see something come through after though. The storm was very powerful, my balcony chairs were flying about 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthegimp Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I was in a small bar on Buakhao and they had to drag a bunch of tables and chairs farther into the bar to avoid the wind driven rain. I arrived as the first drop of rain fell. By the time the beer was in front of me the skies had opened up. It's kind of cozy, like being snowed in, but without the cold and snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always recall the matching carved baby elephants , large for items of decoration, small if compared to real elephants, but they got the weight about right! Just a light amount of rain at my place north of town..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heavy wood furniture is marginally better than the cement furniture, try and move it about without getting a hernia later 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrential rain for an hour and water running off in one to two hours. Such can always appear and no way to avoid local flooding with this amount of downpour. "Torrential" downpour: many living in dryer countries might not have experienced in lifetime or as a once in a year event.

I used to get a new car every three years before the pound fell & the pension froze. The salesmen were much amused by my measuring flood water clearance levels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
