350torana Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 One of the conifers in the front yard is turning brown. The bugger could do with some rain
Bizz Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Its raining here now IRELAND Cork. "The rain in bkk stays mainly on the plain."
Stocky Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I haven't seen rain in so long I can't remember. I'm not counting snow. I've been back in the UK for just over a week and it's not rained. Hat Yai's had a little rain, so maybe I'll see some in Thailand.
ZOVOX Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 No rain BKK ! What is this thread all about - can be bothered to read all the pages ? Is this the longest thread in TV history ?
RDN Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 No rain BKK ! What is this thread all about - can be bothered to read all the pages ? Is this the longest thread in TV history ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sshhh! Don't wake up the Doc. P.S. It rained for 4 minutes last last in Phuket.
Axel Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Just imagine, heavy rain evewry day. Nobody would smoke in public parks. Our overworked politicians would not have to make new laws. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=22285&hl= Where is the rain?
penzman Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I thought it was raining earlier this week around 5:30 a.m... Turns out the neighbour was doing her laundry...
jackr Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Where is the rain? You've seen 'The Day After Tomorrow'? The film was not a joke, or science fiction... That is where the rain has gone... and will keep on going... until 'sudden' world-wide disater strikes. And it may be as close as 10 years away... and more likely 'less'. It has to do with ocean currents and global temperatures. Read more here... http://www.ems.org/climate/facts.html It is scarry. I read somewhere once that if the oceans warmed by a couple of degrees, northern Europe, including Britain, would enter another ice age. The theory being that the flow of ice bergs from the Arctic travelling south cause a huge circulation of the Atlantic Ocean thus bringing in warmer waters from the south. If, due to global warming, the waters warm and the ice bergs melt, then the flow halts. In real terms, the output of the current (no pun intended) circulation is equivalent to 20 million power stations. So those thinking that the UK could do with a couple of degrees temperature rise, think again, because we, or rather those who live there because I'm here, would freeze their nuts off. No rain in Chiang Mai btw but the temperature's just right.
kasi Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Sky is turning dark it looks like rain in Chalong, smells like rain too. With the wind it even sounds like rain.

What you read is similar to what I read... and I don't think it is freeze their nuts off... more likely die. World climates change... forests die, being too hot or too dry (no rain) crops die and cannot grow, animals die, world wide shortage of foods... and water due to lack of rains. Not to worry, we'll keep driving our cars, travelling by plane, use our air con's, fridges, burning fossil fules......... oh and don't forget the damage 'us' smokers are doing Yep, like the saying goes...'you don't know what you've got til it's gone!'. Too true, but unfortunately we'll not know because we'll all be gone, with the exception of the powers that be (the instigators) eeking out a pathetic little existence in a cave.
jackr Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 ...sorry, getting a bit heavy there. Still no rain in lovely Chiang Mai and had to water the greedy bitch of a garden again.

Over population? Anyway, that's another topic for a rainy day. Oh, and there's no rain nor sun here. Getting a bit cooler by the hour. Can smell abit of smoke in the air from slash and burning.
RDN Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Yep it raining all right! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, that was a nice little downpour - no need to water the grass or papaya trees tonight
RDN Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Still no effin' rain! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course not. Otherwise it would be 'frain' or 'rafin' or

bannork Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 waterless winter, weeds wilt,wither, winds without water wend their way, when winter wanes, water vapour wells, weighty, widespread, washing way woes. E.J. Thribbs(aged 17) 9
Jockstar Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Hey Bannork. you have too much time on your hands, see ya at work tomorrow. Still no rain in BKK at 11.50pm
Axel Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 Got up 4:00 a.m. to check for rain in Bangkok. Zilch, Nada. Think I go back to sleep.
Tornado Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Gorgeous day in Phuket, no rain, just sunshine and cool breezes. Reminds me of sunny England
Dickie Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Dry in sunny Essex. Dry, boring, dry, boring. This must be how it feels in those hot places like South USA where it's just dry, boring, dry, boring (or so I've heard). Except it isn't hot and there are no hurricanes.
