Tywais Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I live about half way to Hang Dong and it's coming down nicely now. Funny thing, the frogs in the fields behind me were making a ruckus for the last two nights and now they suddenly went quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 A Pissy amount of rain, forecasted every year won't help you much, I'm afraid. No storms at all until after Songkran The big boys know best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenside Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Let's hope we see a serious improvement in the air tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hoping same thing Greenside. Was quite a short sharp burst (thunder and lightning too, plus a few mini power cuts)here in town, but very refreshing. Fingers crossed for a brighter, bluer, and clearer morning.

Rasseru Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Hoping same thing Greenside. Was quite a short sharp burst (thunder and lightning too, plus a few mini power cuts)here in town, but very refreshing. Fingers crossed for a brighter, bluer, and clearer morning. Hmmm. I joined the two of you in your hopes, but at 6:50 in the morning, it seems to be neither brighter nor bluer nor clearer. I am left now with the hope that the air itself is much cleaner, and that the smog we had has been replaced by ordinary cloud cover. One fact I hold up in support of this hope is that I can see, through thin cover, the top of Doi Suthep, below which is a band of much thicker cover through which I can see nothing, with the boundary between thin and thick being fairly sharply defined, just as it is with . . . ordinary cloud cover! Well, I can cling to my little hope, at least until someone like Priceless comes along to dash it to the ground.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) a hope to be cooler soon .... dave2 Noticeably cooler over the next few days Actually, no. While it's still overcast and drizzling like this morning it's of course cooler, but as soon as that goes away the hot season kicks in. Also because the air is clearer (less or no smog) the sunshine will really heat up the place. (Not complaining, just stating the way things are !!!SONGKRAN WEATHER!!!

Have the doors flung open to enjoy the air flow. Really loved the crackle and bangs of the rainstorm last night. No blue sky yet, but very happy about the cleaner air.

Sparkles Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Slightest of sprinkles in Chang Kien. Hubby and I were out in the sala..."do you hear that? Is that raindrops? It IS raindrops!"...30 seconds later...done. 5 drops of rain last night in Hang Dong.Made the mistake of bringing a huge load of washing in and that put paid to that. Today, however, a unexplained large number of lizards ,big and small, scurrying around. Do they know something we dont ? Wonderful nights rain in Hang Dong and the lizards were spot on. They obviously know more about CM weather than some people posting on this forum that were trying to convince everyone it would not rain before Songkran.
