Rain........

[Neeranam]

10 pm last night in central Khon Kaen, trees blown over and much flooding. I couldn't get the car along Mitraphap road(highway 2) . All the cars were diverting around the area just past big C.

On the historic day of Nov the 6th, 2004, BMW asked a seemingly simple question:

Will it Rain in Bangkok this evening?

which Dave Thailand replied innocently enough:

Will rain in pattaya next thursday afternoon?

What you think of the Netherlands, today 30/31 degrees. Tomorrow raining cats and dogs. After a few days only 10 degrees, and we can open the heating again!

Why the people get sick here?

How about hail? This pm in Chiang Mai, we had 2cm ice chunks... More like the shape of a quartz crystal, vs the round shape I usually see.

Notice the splashes in this grab-shot.

That rain in late afternoon in CMai was something else. First it came directly off Doi Suthep, eastbound, about 45 miles/hour. then it reversed, and switched again. FIVE hours without electricity on the northern half of CMai. Really eery after dark - from Tha Pae gate north, everywhere except Central/Kad Kaew, no lights, almost no traffic lights. The lights came on around 9:45, right in the middle of some hanky panky in the bedroom -- "Oh, now I see you!"

Yep. Rainy season has arrived.

I wonder which evening the flying termites will choose to come out?

I don't think the geckos would be too happy with marmite flavoured termites!

[kayo]

We had our first rains on the 18th of April already...

El Lago de Eden is on the same latitude as Kanchanaburi.

Ermmm... Well,it's about rain anyway.

It's raining in "Minburi",right now .

I'm still waiting for it to snow,you can dream

[Neeranam]

It's been raining in Khon Kaen today.

The rainy season is still not here though it has rained for the last few days. Still waiting for that "change in the air" bringing "cool" temperatures. I predict another week until it comes.

[Ajarn]

CM has been grey and wet all day

No sign of rain in Sathorn yet, but it's oddly cold.

[Axel]

The sky is grey and there was some rain this morning here on BKK-Sukhumvit.

[RDN]

It has been chucking it down in Phuket. And with some very strong winds too - lots of big papaya trees blown down, I suspect. But nice and cool outside. And it's just started again . I expect UBC to pack up soon, and the internet, and electricity. But at least there's water

[Tornado]

the external temp gage on the truck was reading 26 degrees at 4pm, but the humidity was high.

BTW, it just rained a few minutes ago....

Here is a neat World Humidity Map, Asia region. It also has links for other weather maps

Kalasin is very hot today.

I hope the rainy season comes soon.

Looking out of the window, I expect some rain soon in Bangkok.

But, who knows?

[Ajarn]

I KNOW!

No need to worry.

Yes, Bkk will get rain soon

And looking out of my window, here in Lancashire, I am reminded of the local saying:

"If you can see Pendle, it'll soon be raining. If you can't see Pendle, it's already raining."

Two very different worlds.
