Kerryd Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Back on topic... it's not raining in Pattaya today. It will. I spent a couple hours this morning doing a big clean-up around the area, so a little downpour to help spread dirt and garbage around the area I just cleaned is probably in the works (of course, I could speed it up by washing my moto !)

daleyboy Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well it has been honking it down in Bristol all of yesterday and last nigt and now a 0840 it is still raining. Well hopefully if it keeps up like this they will remove the already in place hose pipe ban in the Sout East. This taken from the bbc Hosepipe bans call in South East Drought-hit region needs water Water companies in south-east England are being urged to bring in hosepipe bans to avoid the introduction of more extreme water-saving measures. A report from the Environment Agency made the recommendation, saying the region was in a "serious situation". The period from October 2004 to January 2006 was the driest in some parts of the South East since 1921. Rainfall has been low across most of England and Wales, but the south of England has been the driest area. Graph of rainfall totals 2004-06 against UK average rainfall The Environment Agency and the Consumer Council for Water have both said they are more concerned about shortages in the South East than anywhere else in the country. Four out of the nine water firms in the South East already have some form of hosepipe ban. Sutton and East Surrey Water has restrictions on sprinklers and unattended hosepipes. Southern Water is enforcing a hosepipe and sprinkler ban across its supply area, except in Hampshire. South East Water is banning the use of hosepipes in its Sussex and west Kent supply areas. Mid Kent Water also has a hosepipe ban in place. The Environment Agency appealed for similar action to be taken, from early April at the latest, by Thames Water, Folkestone and Dover Water, Portsmouth Water, Essex and Suffolk Water and Three Valleys Water, which supplies customers across north Surrey, north London, Hertfordshire and Essex. Standpipes possibility Agency chief executive Barbara Young said both water supplies and the environment were at risk. "There is still time for rain this winter and spring to reduce the risk of drought, but water companies shouldn't just hope for rain - they must act now in case the weather stays dry," she said. "If they delay introducing hosepipe bans, extreme steps to manage water supplies over the summer may be needed, such as standpipes and rota cuts." HAVE YOUR SAY Compulsory water meters would encourage better domestic use of water Phil J, London Send us your comments From October 2005 up to 20 February, south-east England received about 280mm of rainfall, 100mm less than the average for the period. An Environment Agency spokeswoman said: "We need a lot more to make water resources safe. "Any rain will help and we're at the right time of the year for rain to have the best possible impact on water resources. "[but] we're still a long way from the drought being over." Environment minister Elliot Morley said compulsory water meters were one option for saving water but that there was a stronger case for introducing this in areas of need such as southern England, rather than a national scheme. Liberal Democrat environment spokesman Norman Baker said compulsory meters would play a vital role in managing resources in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerryd Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 End of June At least if it is raining over there it will still be 30+ everyday. Got that right. Used to be real annoying in Canada. Middle of July we'd get a rain shower and the temperature would drop like 20 degrees ! Over here, the rain is often warmer than the water you get in a lot of hotel showers !

bannork Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Summer Storm In Issan 1 Herdsmen hatted with faces dark, Walk their cattle in sunlight stark, Horizon hovers in heartless heat, Suncaked soils scorch bare feet. 2 But midday passes, wind starts to rise, Black clouds loom, a welcome surprise, Raindrops splatter, soothe the soil, Relief for farmers in their daily toil. 3 Now the rain in Bristol ain't like this, Cold and dour, a thing to miss, Dreary drizzle, damp for days, Grouches folks, even the gays. 4 But the rain in Thailand falls fast and true, Refreshing, reviving, stirring life new, The lightning leaps, the thunder pours, It rarely drizzles, for sure it pours!
