THe missus woke me up at about 2am saying she could hear the sound of fast flowing water.... it was just the klong in front of the house.  Its been dry for over 2 months but there must have been lots of rain in the hills causing a bit of a flash flood.

 

The large pond next door is now full to overflowing and the hundreds of frogs are loving it.  Their croaking is quite deafening.

 

28 degrees at the moment, very nice.

Smart to stay alert to this. You got a good one.

Something doesn't sound right at 152 . PM2.5 is at 11 at 09:00 and has been as low as 8 . It's been raining for the last 2 days and only just stopped this morning. Visibility is superb which matches up with the low pollution count.

Praise be !  Raining heavy in Nong Hoi for some time now, and the first kara-croaky contest entrant of the season is warming-up with some stirring bass notes flavored with enticing vibrato.

Super nice rain....Heavy for long periods during the night.  Had some concern for the river early this morn.  My understanding classes at CMIS flooded out this day.

[orang37]

Third or fourth heavy downpour today in Nong Hoi; the frogs are going strong.

 

Wonder if there's any flooding in the usual places ?

Its been raining out in Mae Rim since about 730.  Some very big down pours then it eases up a bit before another drenching comes through.  It looks like it may do this all day.

 

Good day to watch some movies....not so good for a bike ride.

Just started about 10.00 in Mae-Jo, but we are usually drier, on our side of the plain  ...  lovely & cool now.

The monsoon is hitting the south pretty hard now and will for the next 7 days.   We had some heavy thunderstorms last night in Pattaya, I could actually see a lightning hitting the ground from short distance at 2 AM outside my condo.

The rain in Santhitam seems to be easing off now

[CMKiwi]

A very big downpour in Mae Rim. Klong in front of house burst its banks...yet again.  keep telling the missus to get bigger culvit pipes and that will stop the overflow from coming into our yard.

 

Maybe next big rain lah!

[Sparkles]

Thought it would never arrive,been watering the garden for the last 3 weeks,so very little run off in Hang Dong.

 

Our dam photograhers seem to have gone AWOL.Be nice to see some shots. All dams/catchments only half full as has been reported by some media

A new (to me) website forecasting Chiang Mai rain.

 

Chiang Mai weather forecast - 48hrs

[Ruffian Dick]

Looks like the remnants of typhoon Hato will be invading Issan soon.

[narkeddiver]

Giving the continuous rain today thought it was apt to resurrect the official Chiang Mai Rain topic

[naboo]

There's only one rain thread that matters.

It is raining again tonight. Hope  it's  not another marathon rain.

[CMKiwi]

A little rain in the old town tonight but nthing spectacular like Mae Rim a few nights ago.

 

Alas I shall miss all the excitement as I'm heading down to Hua Hin for a month before returning to NZ after a 8 year break.

 

Not sure when I may return...but generally good memories of the place.

 

Hopefully the clowns in charge will get the boot and something resembling democracy will come to the fore.  I won't hold my breath.

 

It's been a pleasure helping folk on TV.  And some very good feedback too.

Thanks for your contributions.  You will be missed here.

 

All the best, wish you good health and joy.
