I've been checking and looks like it's been raining all the time! Unusual to me.

Last year we got only a week light rain during October/November on Jomtien.

I use the best (Norwegian) source:

It's hardly rained at all this wet season. Maybe 1-2 days a week for a few hours and that's it.

This year is simply returning to more "normality"...not the new normal they would have liked to impose on everything/one 😋

 

Seems pretty normal to me, slightly delayed if anything.

 

I've been here long enough to remember some really wet Novembers as well.

I have been in Thailand quite a number of years and this amount of rain is how I remember it always was many years ago.....less rain being more a thing in recent years. Not ridden my motorcycle with my feet up for a while!

Last couple of walks on the beach I noticed that Russians are starting to trickle back in. Looking forward to more hotties in thongs out there.

You got it!

Playing valley ball half way between Dongtan and Sugar beach. Pleasure to watch.

I keep getting “ heavy rain” warnings from the Thai meteorology service which here in Samut Prakan seem pretty much to never materialize. There has been enough to not have to water our ornamentals very often, but nothing needing warnings.

We have seen footage of local flooding in Bkk, but pretty much avoid the city these days.

They have. Part of ECMWF:

(best forecast from my experience)

Today weather forecast is about who runs the biggest supercomputer.

Who has the most dense network of weather stations.

Yesd and if you recall, most of the dams and reservoirs plus some rivers dried up entirely due to "drought" conditions which reversed itself even more so this rainy season.  I recall the Thai weather bureau predicting that early on this rainy season, rains would be very light (turned out false) but during Aug heavier rains could be expected (correct for sure) and it has continued since then.  I note on a daily basis for the past couple of weeks, the predictions for rain to stop and temps to drop are extended on a daily basis to the next day.  But if one looks around the world, every day are more videos of extended and historic flooding with heavy rainfall.

Have't you heard?  The government controls the weather and can direct storms at those areas they don't like.  They can shoot space lasers and cause hurricanes, tornados, tidal waves, earthquakes, floods and droughts.

 

How do I know all this?  Why it was on the internet so it must be true. 

 

I just can't quite wrap my head around how such a totally incompetent government has managed to accomplish this miracle of all miracles and how so many previously semi sane people believe it.

Now let's watch for the results of the solar maximum events resulting is screwing up the GPS and other electronic communications ... then the accusation that this too is being controlled by, "the enemies within".

     We've been getting plenty of rain in my area of the Darkside--especially late afternoons and several in the middle of the night.  Nice to get to skip watering the garden on the days it rains.

Seems pretty normal. Average monthly rainfall is usually higher in October and November during the transition from the southwest monsoon to the northeast monsoon. Also last year was an outlier due to a dryer El Nino effect whereas this year could be wetter with La Nina, although hard to predict exactly ......
