Too much rain?

[GypsyT]

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.

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

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

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.

i prefer afternoon rain, which is more common lately

I have absolutely no doubt that they either have or are trying to obtain said technology, there are numerous articles about  "geoengineering"   spraying particles into the atmosphere to limit solar radiation..Ronald Reagan and his

Star Wars program remember that ?    HAARP ?  just from the top of my conspiracy theory head.

I like little rain too, specially at night. Keeps pollution away.

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.

LOL! Remember 2011? I was on a  MC trip to Krabi and Koh Samui from Nakhon Ratchasima. I did not know it could rain that much. I was sure the bike would "drown" at times! 

Ended up nearly a month on Koh Samui waiting for the water levels to drop so I could pass Bangkok on my way north! I went through areas where only the road was above water and I could see the top of houses and trees sticking out of the "ocean" around me! Twisted and bent roads due to water damages. I will never again go touring in the monsoon season!!! 😆😆But that year it was really special.

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)

Go through:

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.

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".

And your point is??? Sahara might be better for you?😳

I don't believe there's any of that.

     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.

Starting to hear some thunder.

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 ......
