WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 A bit of wind, and a bit of rain, but nothing sustained. Back to bone dry and high temperatures. I think we should do another Songkran, it's the perfect weather for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackr Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 DIY aircon that uses less electricity than yr standard AC unitit probably works too May have a noticeable effect if it's stuck against your leg, much like those gimmicky water therapy things they sell here, but the whole point of aircon, along with getting things cool, is to remove humidity and flush it outside. That thing'll eventually equalise and be completely useless, betty swollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hey guys. I had 4 inches yes 4 inches of rain last night down on the farm in Surin last night.

Donnyboy Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 he probably fell over in the dark when he was drunk looking for the squat toilet outside and fell in the water tank that was only 4 inches full, frog noises were echoes when GL was groaning from the fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here bright sky yesterday and this morning with not ONE drop of cool nice rain. Not even a dark cloud! I have no idea why I get such savage weather here. We had hail and one of the worst wind storms I have seen in years, then half an hour later it was sunny and steaming. The bananas were shredded, and I lost two Frangipanis, plus the broken branches from other trees. I will video the next one for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 and I lost two Frangipanis, That's impossible, you never lose Frangipanis, about the worst that can happen is gain MORE Frangipanis. (Whatever drops off you stick in the ground, and will proceed to grow into another Frangipani tree. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Whatever drops off you stick in the ground, and will proceed to grow into another Frangipani tree. ) This is quite true, but these were well established ones that were broken off low down, and yes they will grow again, but will take years to re establish. My seedlings are bigger that the stumps, so might have to start feeding the seedlings more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotbeve Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 My better half was up at the farm for a funeral and a wedding (not the movie!!!>>> ;-}) for 2 days and very localized heavy rain storms were around the area. Hail and heavy wind as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Getting really nasty here at CMU. Things blowing everywhere, light rain in sheets, lots of noises from branches flying off and hitting buildings. Think I will leave my room for a bit. A couple of years ago a 15-20cm tree branch came right through the roof of my office and where I had been sitting just seconds before. //edit - temperature dropping rapidly.

Nienke Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Right! Cheered to much. Less than 5 minutes of actually good rain, then clouds disappeared and sun reappeared and back is the heat with increased humidity. At least it seems I've been a bit more lucky this time than WTK and MH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
